almost like clockwork at 2AM CT.&nbsp; They appeared on cue this morning, but rather than leading to a head fake, or \u201cBluto rally\u201d, they presaged the good vibes that followed.&nbsp; After the surprising 2.7% headline and 2.6% core readings \u2013 both 0.4% below consensus expectations \u2013 stocks and bonds each rallied, though by varying degrees.&nbsp; Around noon ET we have the S&amp;P 500 (SPX) up about 1.2%, while MU\u2019s double-digit percentage pop is pushing the Nasdaq 100 (NDX) up by nearly 2%.&nbsp; One might have expected the Russell 2000 (RTY) to benefit from lower bond yields and increasing hopes for rate cuts, but that measure is up \u201conly\u201d 0.9%.&nbsp; Bitcoin leapt as well, with the cryptocurrency approaching the $90k level at its peak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-es-march-futures-2-days-2-minute-candles-with-vertical-lines-at-2-am-and-8-am-ct\"><strong><em>ES March Futures, 2-Days, 2-Minute Candles with

counterparts.&nbsp; The tame reading reduced inflation expectations, causing the yield curve to flatten modestly, with 2-year yields falling by about 1.5 basis points and the 10-year yield falling by about 3 bp.&nbsp; Although this reduces the steepening pressure on the curve, it is difficult to suggest that there is not some upward pressure on the curve right now.&nbsp; We see a series of higher highs, lower lows and a 30-day moving average pointing upwards \u2013 all signs that chartists look for as part of a bottoming pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"

conversation this morning<\/a> with an economist and a fixed income strategist that shed light on the more sober view taken by the bond market.&nbsp; The economist said to take today\u2019s report with a grain of salt because the shutdown impeded the Bureau of Labor Statistics\u2019 data collection.&nbsp; The fixed income strategist said it needed a bag of salt both for that reason and because much of the price data was collected in the midst of \u201cBlack Friday\u201d promotions.&nbsp; Hence, it was good news for them, but not great.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And here\u2019s where procrastination either helped or hurt me today.&nbsp; Because of the media visit linked above, this piece got a later start than usual today.&nbsp; As I\u2019ve been writing about the stellar performance of the stock market, SPX has given back about half its peak gains.&nbsp; Taking it a step further, bitcoin has plunged from its highs and is now lower on the session.&nbsp; Apparently, the mood was more fragile than it seemed, and risk aversion continues to lurk in investors\u2019 psyches.&nbsp; No one will complain if stocks close at the now current levels \u2013 SPX and RTY both +0.6% and NDX, +1.2% \u2013but the rug pull in bitcoin, if not a \u201c<a
