Bonds surprised by drifting ever higher.

2.28.2014

Top Day Market News

Last night, Japanese CPI came in at 1.4% and household spending came in stronger than expected while Japanese Industrial Production came in at 4.0% versus an expectation of 2.8%.

Yesterday, Janet Yellen basically repeated her previous Humphrey Hawkins testimony. China continues to guide the Yuan lower. Many expect that China’s Purchasing Manager’s Index could slip to 50.1.

Bonds surprised by drifting ever higher even as housing numbers were better than expected as were Durable Goods orders.

Today we get the second estimate of GDP, Chicago Purchasing managers’ Index and University of Michigan Consumer sentiment numbers.
