Fannie 4.0s have added another 2 ticks (104-13) since the last update owing to general bond market positivity after the 7yr Auction, and MBS-specific outperformance.  To be fair and accurate, the outperformance (MBS green while Treasuries are still red) was already intact heading into the auction, so it's not adding anything new at this point, but neither has it reversed course.

Several positive reprices have been reported and they remain a possibility while current levels are maintained or improved upon.

There were a few Ukraine-related headlines immediately following the auction, but they don't look to have had much of an impact.  The auction itself was nothing to write home about, but bond markets look like they were simply a bit defensive heading into the supply and have let their guard down to some small extent.  Failure to break higher in stocks (highs of the day at 11:40am) further supported the bond market resilience.

Bond Markets are seeing the sharpest reversal of morning weakness since--well, there's not a recent example that measures up.  That's because most big moves in the morning are either products of economic data or significant headlines and in those cases, the movement follows the suggestion of the data.

In today's case, we have markets initially moving in the direction suggested by the data (weaker bond markets), but more than reversing that weakness for no apparent reason.  Yes, we've seen/heard the excuse that Ukraine headlines are in play, but people who actually trade enough money to move markets saw these headlines more than half an hour before the move started!  You might see a 30 second gap between news and movement from time to time, but never 30 minutes.

All we have at the moment is an aggressive morning sell-off in stocks and aggressive bond-buying in Europe (which still exerts some force on US Treasuries at this time of day).  10yr yields are back in line with yesterday's latest levels and MBS are 4 ticks into positive territory.
