Expect high volatility this week with both inflation and labor data

___

In global news, Israel made its move on Iran this weekend attacking military installations, as it had promised no oil installations or attacks on Iran nuclear programs. The result this morning sent oil prices down $4.50 at 9 am ET, down 6.50%.

Friday’s October employment report expected to be much lower job increases after the shocking growth in jobs reported in September.

At 9:30 am the DJIA opened +222, NASDAQ +123, S&P +27. 10 year at 9:30 am 4.24% unchanged. FNMA 6.0 30 year coupon at 9:30 am +4 bps from Friday’s close and -9 bp from 9:30 am Friday; the 5.5 coupon at 9:30 am +1 bp from Friday’s close and -24 bp from 9:30 am Friday.

11:30 am $69B 2 year note auction.

1 pm $70B 5 year note auction.

One weight removed from markets, Israel refrained from going at Iran’s oil as it said it would not do. A month ago, the releases of September employment data began the steady increase in rates, comments from key Fed officials that the Fed may pause its rate cuts fueled additional selling. Finally, capping off the sour outlook influential Jamie Dimon, JP Morgan/Chase saying WW III as already begun added more angst in the rate world. Last week the DJIA lost 1200 points, though this morning opened better.

Treasury will step up and borrow another $183B in 2s, 5s, and 7s beginning this morning. The amount is the same as last month’s 2s, 5s and 7s. Inflation data on Thursday and employment on Friday.
