Can we credit today's losses to this? Is the market really this sensitive to positive economic indicators?

 

[tsptalk]

The futures did dip further after the ISM was released, but they were sinking most of the night beforehand.

But yes, it seems like the market will be sensitive to economic data between now and the CPI and Fed meeting next week.

Another reason for today's drop in yields, decline in the dollar, and rally in stocks...

The ISM Non-Manufacturing Index for December dropped to 49.6% (Briefing.com consensus 55.0%) from 56.5% in November.

The dividing line between expansion and contraction is 50.0%.
