Heading into the close, the FN 4.0 is trading +0-02 at 99-09 yielding 4.078% and the FN 4.5 is +0-02 at 101-24 yielding 4.286%. The secondary market current coupon (CC) is 4.13%. The CC is +78/10yr TSY and +67/10yr swap.

As you can see in the chart below,  after prices fell early in the week, "rate sheet influential" MBS prices haven't made much progress in either direction with most of the price action occurring between 101-26 and 101-20. This should continue into today's close.

 

Again...lock!

not very exciting post? want to talk about forced buying in both ends of the yield curve? The curve steepened. MBS trading was somewhat boring today....supply is slowing and most of the trading flows occurred when MBS yield spreads widened up vs. benchmarks. Up in coupon was clear winner, so my AM strategy to buy 5.5s and 6.0s was profitable, albeit only a tick or a tick+. Mortgage rates holding near 6 month lows....dont sit on floats too long.
