It was a busy session for mortgages. Rate sheet influential MBS prices  weakened as a steeper yield curve brought out profit takers. The Fed was buying as originators sold over $3bn in loan supply, official buyers (the Fed) also adding 5.5s.

The FN 4.0 was -0-20 at 99-26 yielding 4.026% and the FN 4.5 was -0-14 at 102-06 yielding 4.244%. The secondary market current coupon was 4.028% and yield spreads were WIDER as TSYs outperformed MBS

Rate sheet rebate was reduced as lenders repriced for the worse

We continue to remind of the importance of THE RANGE. The recent rise in rates adds further evidence that the market is more comfortable trading THE RANGE than trending towards untested levels. (3.27-3.50 with occasional trips to 3.20 and 3.57)
