Thursday’s Factors and Events

The benchmark 10-year note yield traded near 3.14 percent, hitting its highest level since 2011. The 30-year bond yield, meanwhile, reached its highest level since October 2014. Rates were boosted by the release of stronger-than-expected economic data.

“Investors were looking for a rebound from last month’s muted results, and they got it,” said Mike Loewengart, vice president of investment strategy at E-Trade. “Economic reports, market movement, and even the Fed are all telling us one thing: The economy is in a solid place right now.”
