THE SIGNAL

 

A 29k payrolls print, against about 90k expected, paid the duration and risk bid for an October pause. Yields slipped. The Nasdaq took the record. The Dow barely moved. AMOD, QTEX, FEAM, and TNMG have a wire. SDEV has the Sep 29 denial. Monday, the pause trade is exposed if yields bounce. TNMG is exposed if the $5.5 million bid does not hold into next week.

Wrong if: Monday yields bounce back toward multi-year highs and the NFP pause trade fades before the open.
