Kim Rupert Yield Quotations

I think were just having a little short-covering ahead of the weekend. We often see a bit of bottom-fishing when the yield is around 4.5%.

Our view is very optimistic. We believe that the tight yield curve is the result of the Fed's continued tightening. We are expecting economic growth of 4% much of this year. That is far from a recession.

The fact that he didn't suggest any time frame for a pause is going to leave rates biased slightly higher. People still think a yield near 4.7% on the long end is a pretty good deal.

The yield curve remains steady ... indicating that the upside inflation risk appears to be canceled out by Fed vigilance for now.

The yield initially knee-jerked lower on the weak durable goods data and the Saudi news.
