Rates Also Hold Support
A strong housing report led to higher interest rates and lower bond prices. The 10-year T-Note Yield held support just above 4.6% (46 on the chart). This level stems from broken resistance and the trend for interest rates is up. The FOMC meets next week and is widely expected to boost the Fed funds rate .25% to 4.75%. This is probably the last trading day to establish direction before the pre-fed funk sets in on Monday.
