Relatively Drama-Free Day
These things happen from time to time. The bond market finally had an uneventful day... sorta.

During domestic hours, 10s were mostly in a 2bp range. Additionally, there were no standout market movers for better or worse. This easily meets the definition of uneventful even if it says nothing about the volatility risks over the next 2 days.
