The FN 4.0 is +0-06 at 99-11 and the FN 4.5 is +0-06 at 102-ROCK (102-00). Yield spreads are now WIDER and rate sheet influential MBS prices are holding near intraday lows.REPRICES FOR THE WORSE HAVE BEEN NOTED.

The dollar is on a tear. The EUR/USY is down to 1.469, breaking several pivot points in the process.

Check out the highs and lows on some of these currency pairs...

The dollar is STRONGER and stocks are WEAKER. Odd? (note sarcasm please). Stocks are heading lower.....cross your fingers for flight to safety into the rates market.

Decent support at 118-20 in 10yr futures...3.41% in the cash market.
