  • Thursday 7/31/08 ... Keep on keepin' on

    Super UN-volatile day. same 4 tick range since 9AM. It's a very stable float through the end of the day as lenders that hedged continue to come out with price improvements. The decision will come at cut-off tonight to see if you want to take the gains or if you think that tomorrow's data could be worse than expected. It's really about a 50/50 from a fundamental read. With Jobless claims crushing estimates, some might consider this a sign that NFP could in fact be worse than expected. Plus we had

    At A Glance Action Packed Day Today, going mostly in our favor so far MBS up by 9 ticks with the 6.0 at 100-17 INFLATION Employment Cost Index exactly as expected at .7% Quarter over Quarter change GDP missed it's 2.4 consensus coming in at 1.9. Numerous other components we'll discuss later, but in general, that's good for bonds Jobless Claims demolished an already high estimate of 398k coming in at 448k LOCK/FLOAT; floating for now. we'll have to take a serious look at the gains today and see if

    Two Roads Diverge before us now. We have recaptured the gains we lost last week. This is as we had hoped. But a +9000 reading on the ADP, loathe though we may be to put any faith in that report, must at least give us some measure of pause in hoping for a weak reading in NFP on Friday. Today's Numbers 6.0's started around 100-00, dropped to 99-28, and progressively rallied to their daily plateau at 100-07 bid / 100-08 ask The visual of this is on the graph from earlier. No up or down movement after

    here's an up to date graph for you on the price action of FNMA 6.0's As you can see, after a slight dip this morning, there has been relatively little volatility and a good amount of buying interest in general. Spreads versus treasuries have continued to hold firm. We'll get another more detailed post out to you with more factors to consider about possibly floating into the NFP report on Friday. Until then, enjoy the price improvements that should have hit you (or that will hit) from most lenders

    Really nice things happening right now as spreads are obviously holding firm vs. treasuries. What I am liking right now is that the Dow has risen 117 and the S&P has risen 10.77. These are nearly 1% rises for equities. As a result of this, money has logically flowed out of the bond market leaving the price on the 5UST down 10 ticks and the 10UST down 17 ticks. But because of the firm spreads, Fannie 6.0's are down a scant 3 ticks and the Freddie (I know we never talk about him, the reason being

    At A Glance: Housing Recovery Act Signed Into Law ADP report says private payrolls rose 9k. Fuels slight optimism (for some) for Friday's report. Mortgage Applications at their lowest level since December 2000. Stocks like all the news, futures rise bonds, not so much, BUT spreads are tightening owing to some of the positive news relating specifically to mortgages (housing bill) currently down an eighth in YSP day over day, and fighting to hold onto it's favorite recent support level at 99-28.

    Even though the total score today is negative, our rally was impressive considering stock strength. It's another very good sign for those that are still "floating for a better day." So take a look at the below graph and you can basically see a cross section of our very own grand canyon.

    MBS has bitten, fought and clawed it's way back under a .375 YSP loss on the day and currently holding right there at 12 ticks down and 99-27. reprice for the worse risk is waning. In fact, lenders that priced "crappy" this morning may even be considering reprices for the better.

    we've lost another 2 ticks since last post, pushing us to the lows of the morning. those with short term gameplans should consider locking. BUT, although it's no guarantee, floaters will probably have access to better rates either on Friday, or some time in the following week. So if you have a week and a half or so before needing to lock, you might consider floating. Just watch those stocks! Bonds are following them like white on rice.
