| Stronger Start After 7am Magical Mystery Move | ||
| 11/14/2025 8:24 AM | ||
| Bonds were sideways to slightly weaker in the overnight session. 4am to 7am was exceptionally flat and narrow. This is notable because stocks had done more than half of their overnight selling by 7am, and stocks are one of the only scapegoats. In other words, a "flight to safety" (sell stocks/buy bonds) seems to be the only popular explanatio...Read More | ||
