US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent touted lower two-year yields early in the day and -- right on cue -- they then embarked on a big reversal, rising to 3.69% from 3.55%. That turn came as the market continues to shrug off tariff fears, which was helped by an ISM manufacturing report that wasn't as bad a feared.
Other US dollar moves were much smaller as it was mostly yen selling on better risk appetite. The S&P 500 climbed for its 8th day in a row in a move that's beginning to squeeze shorts or create FOMO. Hassett helped to fuel the moves by saying that an announcement of a trade deal was coming later today, though we continue to wait.
Friday is non-farm payrolls and oftentimes that restrains volatility but the thinking of most is this: If it's strong it doesn't really matter because it was before the tariffs. If it's weak it could just be a one-off and much of the economy looked fine.
