The 2s10s just broke the previous wide of 273 bps and at last check was trading at 275 bps. Stocks, as expected compliments of the mysterious Spoos (in)visible hand, still defying gravity.



Zero Hedge friend Mojakus has put together some very interesting thoughts on the negative convexity phenomenon (self fulfilling prophecy) in treasury action today.

The effect is finally being felt in stocks which are getting pounded. Amusingly, while yesterday CNBC had a BREAKING NEWS: MARKET SURGES alert for 4 hours straight, for some odd reason the MARKET PLUNGES alert is nowhere to be found. SHOCKING.
