I thought it stayed below 5.7, close to 5.68. Not much of a difference. If Friday's employment numbers/hourly wages are higher than expected, the 5.75 may not hold. I hope Bollinger is right.

Hi Judy, Hopefully 5.75 should contain the bonds, but I hear some bond analysts are expecting 6ish. However John Bollinger expects a bond rally back to 5.0 I have heard that the Bank of Japan is funding its massive liquidity injection by selling U.S. treasuries. The Japanese fiscal year ends in March (the politicians can print the results and relax a bit) - just in time to coincide with an IRA push. Nice rally then? Did Bollinger mention a time table? Meanwhile, the bond is pissing me off as it drags mortgage rates higher. BTW - the BOJ stim package appears to be working. Durable goods orders up 20%. It should with an equivalent Fed funds rate of .02%. Take care.
