Last week: "if 10 year bond yield breaks 5 and heads for 5.10... somethings gonna give". Yesterday: Largest single day drop in 3 years. with the 10 yr hitting 5.12 and overnight hitting 5.25, then bouncing back to 5.12.

Yesterday: Pimco's Bill Gross said he is now a bear market manager after 25 years of being a bond bull.

Yesterday: "SP500 sits on 50 DMA after plunging to close at 1490." 100 DMA 1460 awaits below or another attempt at 1533 by next Friday.

Despite bad news on the PPI & CPI, we lean towards another run up as yesterday the Fed injected another $14B through temporary open market operations.
