Slow news day.
Equity futures are lower on the back of Friday's lousy employment report. Bonds and MBS are rallying, with the 10-year again flirting with t a 2% yield. European markets are closed for the Easter holiday, so volumes will be light.
Friday's employment report showed an increase of 120,000 private sector jobs and a drop in the unemployment rate to 8.2%. The reason for the drop in unemployment was due to a drop in the labor force participation rate, which has fallen from 64% to 63.8% since December. These are the 99-ers who have exhausted their unemplyment benefits and no longer count as part of the labor force.
