Thursday 10-year 4.333% just before the close. (No Friday action. Good Friday Observance.) Also keeping an eye on FX. Euro up to $1.13, GBP $1.32, CDN $1.38 from $1.44 not long ago.
That Frederick Douglass is doing a great job... Isn't he?
Hi @sma3. The U.S. bond market is closed, too; for Good Friday. It also closed at 2pm on this Thursday.
AND, for today only (Thursday, April 17); although you've probably already looked. Pretty much down in pricing, higher yields to end this business week. Short duration, TIP and high yield okay today.
