So the market came into today just 300 points above its intra-day low of Friday the 6th at the beginning of this month, having rallied about a thousand points off of that in the six days that followed, but then selling off three days in a row to end last week. Bill Ackman announced this morning that he had covered his short on U.S. Treasuries (another way of saying this is that he ended his bet on rates going higher). Bonds also rallied on the news as the 10-year yield dropped 17 basis points (from +8 to -9).
