Fed Week Uncertainty Makes For Logical Consolidation Bonds rallied sharply just over a month ago following a downbeat jobs report and other data.  They then consolidated ahead of the early September data before rallying just a bit more.  The present week didn't add much to the broader context and thus presented a good opportunity for another consolidation ahead of a week that's sure to spark some volatility.  Friday's only hope was Consumer Sentiment and it was not up to the task of raising any heart rates.  Bonds began the day in modestly stronger territory and are going out the door at almost the exact same levels.
