10-06-2026 “Take Me Out to The Ball Game” But Don’t Strike Out!
—————————–
Take stats out of the Jobs game. Take them out of the Bonds.
Friday delivered the miss Bond bulls had been waiting for: 29K jobs, unemployment of 4.2%, and struggling wages. Sadly, loan officers caught no relief after Thursday’s positive positioning.
Meanwhile, Europe’s weakness and Crude oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz reached pre-war levels, according to CNBC. So, 5.50 is a resistance in the 10-yr yield. The bulls can turn the tables with a close below 4.90. So, which happens first, 5.50 or 4.90?
How many times can the Bulls strike out?
‘Cause it’s one, two, three strikes, Bulls fall
In the old JOBS game.
These views are mine. Find a reason to cheer at TMSpotlight.
