Inversion along Treasury yield curve deepening. The 2-yr note yield is up two basis points to 4.40% while the 10-yr note yield is down three basis points to 3.57%.The trade deficit widened in October to $78.2 billion (consensus -$77.2 billion) from a downwardly revised $74.1 billion (from -$73.3 billion) in September. That was the result of exports being $1.9 billion less than September exports and imports being $2.2 billion more than September imports.
The key takeaway from the report is that the pickup in imports speaks to a relatively strong U.S. economy in October versus other economies.
