Do you expect the home buyer tax credit extension to contribute to a noticeable pick up in loan production?

Created By: Adam Quinones
  • Yes, I anticipate an increase in activity (27.1%)
  • Only a modest upturn in production (44.2%)
  • Nope. 2009 demand stole from 2010 demand (28.7%)

MBS MORNING: Benchmark Rates Higher. Mortgages Hold Ground For Now

The 10yr TSY note yield is -0-07 at 101-16 yielding 3.446%....higher from opening levels, testing the upper boundaries of  support (as discussed this morning).  

 While "rate sheet influential" benchmark yields rose quickly, "rate sheet influential " MBS coupons did not react the same way...instead prices fell only marginally and yield spreads tightened.

The FN 4.0 is -0-04 at 98-06 yielding 4.187% and the FN 4.5 is trading -0-03 at 100-28 yielding 4.395%. The secondary market current coupon is 4.322%. The Current Coupon is +87/10yr TSY and +68/10yr swap.

If the 10yr breaks through 3.45% support, expect MBS prices to fall further...REPRICES FOR THE WORSE ARE A RISK

California just priced $908bn in "Build America Bonds". Looks like some investors sold relatively expensive TSYs to buy into cheaper BABs

I wonder what the Undertaker or maybe Big Nasty have to say about the subject.....that would make quite the forum...when they disagree with each other they get in the cage and battle it out.... I thought he made some good points and even if i didn't I probably wouldn't argue with him...
