Refunding Quotes

We`ve been in this trading range between 5.375 and 5.75 (30-year bond yields) for a very long period of time. Then we finally broke out of that and the next target people are setting their sights for is 6 percent. We have a refunding this week, we have an awful lot of corporate supply and we also have next week`s FOMC meeting approaching.

We`re down for three reasons. One, we still have the overhang of supply associated with the February refunding auctions, which were not distributed that well. Two, the early gains in the Dow Jones industrial average have eliminated some support for Treasury.
