Flat Market Vibes & Friday Night Football Thrills

Bonds in Snooze Mode
The bond market has been quieter than ever, with 8 straight trading sessions keeping 10-year yields in the tight range of 4.40–4.46%. Could this be the calm before the storm as December’s big reports approach?

Key Economic Data Highlights

  • Jobless Claims: 213k (better than forecast)
  • Philly Fed Index: -5.5 (below the forecast of 8.0)
  • Existing Home Sales: Slightly up at 3.96m

The market wrapped up the day with the 10-year yield at 4.429% (+2.4bps). Flat week, but December could bring major moves.

Nick Chubb’s Snowstorm Comeback
Nick Chubb stormed back with a 2-yard touchdown in heavy snow, leading the Browns to a 24-19 victory over the Steelers. This was Chubb’s first game back against Pittsburgh since his season-ending injury last year.

The Browns overcame a 12-point fourth-quarter deficit, with clutch plays from Jameis Winston and Jerry Jeudy setting up Chubb’s dramatic score. The Steelers’ last-second Hail Mary was denied by Browns safety Grant Delpit, sealing the win.

Inspirational Quote
“The comeback is always stronger than the setback.”

Whether it’s a flat market or a snowy touchdown, there’s always a story to watch.
