Treasuries suffer pre-employment report
There were very few traders at work by afternoon trade so we will keep this short and sweet...
Bonds and notes gave back much of yesterday's rally as traders squared positions ahead of tomorrow's potential fiasco. The employment data itself makes for an exciting day, but the employment numbers on "Good Friday" complicate the situation tremendously. The open outcry pits will be closed, but Treasuries will be trading electronically until 10:15 am Central.
We aren't going into tomorrow with any expectations, and those trading short options with us were recommended to get flat yesterday. However, we would likely consider being bullish should bond futures drop to the mid 114's. In the meantime, resistance can be found at 116'26ish.
Enjoy the holiday weekend!
