This is what happens when the bond slump hits 'pause'

Tune in again tomorrow for the 30-year auction

Tune in again tomorrow for the 30-year auction

This has turned into a pretty big move in the US dollar and it keyed off the strong demand in the 10-year sale.

US 10-year yields had reached as high as 1.1855% before the sale but have fallen back to 1.130%, down 1.5 bps on the day.

Tomorrow there is a 30-year auction so we'll find out if there is more real money waiting in the weeds.

In any case, the pause in the bond dump has led to a sizeable turn in the US dollar. USD/JPY is down 40 pips from a few hours ago at 103.80. There have been similar-sized moves across the board.

I don't think you can draw any conclusions from today's price action aside from: Keep a very close eye on bonds.
