I've been watching it closely.<g>

Bonds shouldn't have given up so much
so quickly IMHO. While Fed website is tied up,
Bloomberg transcript has following AG quote:

"If new data suggest it is likely that the pace of cost
and price increases will be picking up, the Federal
Reserve will have to act promptly and forcefully so as
to preclude imbalances from arising that would
only require a more disruptive adjustment later -- one
that could impair the expansion and bring into question
whether the many gains made can be sustained."

Guess some bond traders don't like waiting for new data
and would rather see active preemption by Fed.

Sep bonds have converged with the
50DMA trending down and 20DMA moving up
at this 116 level.

Inuts are down 3.3%. NASDQ down 59 for -2.2% but
DJIA down only 37 or .4%. This disparity shouldn't
last. The Dow should give up substantially
more and bonds should find support as a result IMHO.
