Today is the last day of the 2nd quarter and the DOW is on pace to have its worse month of June since 1930. A new oil intraday high of $143.57 just hit as well. I just heard those stats and thought I should share.
This is my first update in a week, I was in training most of last week and had limited computer access. Mortgage Bonds did rally last week after the Fed changed their policy statement preparing themselves to act if inflation worries continue. Personal Consumption Expenditure was released Friday as well and the Core PCE which does not count food and energy was lower than expected estimated 0.2% and the actual was 0.1%; meaning inflation for now is in check. Bonds closed at their high on Friday above 2 levels of resistance and are up 6 bps today. Rates will be better this morning.
There is a lot of data to be released this week and being a short summer holiday week we should see a great deal of volatility. When trading volume is down, volatility increases.
945am today the Chicago PMI, officially known as the Business Barometer, will be released. The key number is 50, a number higher / lower of that equals an expansion / contraction of the Chicago manufacturing sector which is an overall indicator of the national economy.
