Strong Start Hit by ISM, But Shaking Off Weakness

Bonds rallied nicely in the overnight session and extended the gains in the first few hours of domestic trading.  The ISM Services data came in just a bit higher than expected with the employment component quite a bit higher.  Bonds gave up some of their overnight gains, but have been pushing back nicely as the day progresses.  The rebound has been enough to get 10yr yields back under the 3.99% technical level (or 3.98% or 4.0% depending on your preference). Note the good show of support at the 4.08 technical level yesterday.   Here's how the progress looks in 5.5 MBS:

California, Indiana, Michigan, Texas, and Virginia are top five in pumpkin growing. The National Association of Realtors, U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Pharmaceuticals, American Hospital Association, and Blue Cross/Blue Shield are the leading five lobbying spenders. And you can add the Internal Revenue Service's Income Verification Express Service (IVES) to the list of "essential" government activities that would continue to operate in the event of a government shutdown. We won’t have to worry about that until mid-November, as the government kicked the can down the road and passed a Continuing Resolution that averts a government shutdown to November 17.
