July was a great month for stocks but August has gotten off to a slow start. The market looked like it would turn today as yields fell but that ultimately wasn’t enough. US yields end the day 10-15 bps lower across the curve.

Still, this is the first substantial weekly decline since March so the bulls can’t exactly complain.
