Tuesday at the Senate Banking Committee, Wednesday at the House Financial Services Committee. Treasury auctioning $119B of 3s, 10s, and 30s.

The estimates for CPI and PPI are a slight bump higher. Powell’s testimony always gets market reaction.

Rates were higher overnight, the 10 year note traded at 4.32% +3 bps from Friday’s close, by 8:30 am ET the note traded at 4.28%.

At 9:30 am the DJIA opened +211, NASDAQ +25, ,S&P +11. 10 year at 9:30 am 4.30% +1 bps. FNMA 6.0 30 year coupon at 9:30 am -2 bps from Friday’s close and +1 bp from 9:30 am Friday.

Looking for a quiet day ahead.
