The economy surprised on the upside and inflation was a surprise on the upside so (10-year Treasury) yields tested the level we hit last week which was 5.14 percent.

The economy is still strong in consumer spending and in manufacturing. There is some risk to inflation, so bond yields should still go up.

The FX market is watching interest rate markets and short- end yields have come off and that's because core CPI was tame.
