Action Economics: Yelds held steady at firmer levels Tuesday morning despite the plunge in consumer confidence in November, which contrasted the early returns on the holiday shopping season. The 10-year yield is holding above 3.92%, compared to yesterday's low of 3.80% and the 2-year yield has a foothold above 3.0% again. The 2s-10s spread has crept back up above +90 bp after its side trip below. Stocks are off morning rebound highs, which could help keep a lid on yields.
