iShares Trust Lehman 20 Year Treasury Bond Fund (TLT) $93.66 +0.17%
Bonds have been ripping higher during the past hour and, after losing 23/32nd early, the benchmark ten-year Treasury bond is back to unchanged. The rally in bonds came after the ISM manufacturing index for August and July construction numbers were released at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time and numbers came up short of analyst estimates. Also, Fannie (FNM) and Freddie (FRE) came off the days highs after Fitch lowered ratings on preferred stock to BBB-. FRE hit a high of $5.23, but is now up 32 cents to $4.83. The major averages also pulled back from the day’s best levels and the Dow, which hit a high of 11,790, is now up 156 points to 11,700.
