MBS RECAP: Negative Reprices Rolling In As Day Winds Down
Mar 20 2013, 4:09PM
MBS Live
: MBS Afternoon Market Summary
Almost all day long, markets did almost nothing, almost... Bond markets coped with an adjustment lower in price/higher in yield heading into the domestic session owing to some overnight positivity (or lack of sufficient negativity) surrounding the Cyprus situation. Despite a bit of weakness overnight, volumes were small and the ranges stayed remarkably contained during US trading. This continued to be the case right through the FOMC Announcement, Forecast, and even in the immediate wake of Bernanke's press conference. Before and after the 3pm Treasury close, accounts began pulling up stake in Treasuries. Heading into the 3pm mark, this was actually stable-to-positive as it benefited from short-covering. After 3pm, the tone abruptly shifted and 10's moved just over 2bps higher fairly quickly and in decreasing volume. MBS simply followed suit with Fannie 3.0s ultimately giving up three eighths of a point by 3:40pm, prompting most lenders to reprice negatively.

Afternoon Reprice Alerts and Updates
Below is a recap of instant
Reprice Alerts
and updates issued via email and text alert to
MBS Live subscribers
this afternoon.
3:38PM
:
ALERT ISSUED:
Reprices Incrementally More Possible
MBS have just now made it to price gaps vs rate sheet times that suggest negative reprices. Fannie 3.0s are down 12 ticks at 102-23 and 10yr yields are just outside their highs of the day at 1.9511. Widespread reprices aren't "likely" at these levels, but they're increasingly possible. This is the first real "alert" of the day.
3:26PM
:
ALERT ISSUED:
MBS Hit Lows Again After Bullish Hints From Bernanke
It was pretty subtle, but when asked if there was a chance that 2013 would be a repeat of the false starts seen in 2011 and 2012, Bernanke said that the reasons for those distortions are less of a factor in 2013. If we stretch our imagination, that's somewhat of an economically bullish suggestion.
Whether it was due to those headlines or simple tradeflow considerations, bond markets are back to their weakest levels of the day with MBS leading the charge, currently down 8 ticks at 102-27. The gap between rate sheet print times and current levels CONTINUES to fall short of suggesting negative reprices, but the shape of the charts could be a moderate concern for some quicker-to-reprice lenders.
To reiterate and reemphasize, negative reprices aren't likely, but a small minority of lenders could be starting to consider them. 10's look like they're breaking out of their post-FOMC supports, so risks in MBS would soon be increasing if we hit 102-25 and below.
2:10PM
:
ALERT ISSUED:
Range Containment Continues Post-FOMC
Just an update for inquiring minds... Neither MBS, Treasuries, or stocks have broken their pre-FOMC ranges. MBS fell very briefly back toward their weakest levels and bond markets remain closer to weakness than strength. MBS at 102-29 in Fannie 3.0s. 10yr Yields at 1.9459. Woefully uneventful so far, but again, a bit more cautious vs optimistic as far as trading levels are concerned--all under the caveat that previous lows have yet to break.
1:52PM
:
ALERT ISSUED:
MBS Hit Lows Ahead Of FOMC, But Trend Is Sideways
Despite the fact that MBS have hit their lowest levels of the session roughly 10 minutes before the FOMC party kicks off, the broader trends in bond markets and equities remains more sideways than "weak." We just happen to be on the far edge of sideways.
This doesn't mean that negative reprices are an impossibility. In fact, with a gap of 5 ticks between highs and lows, it's possible, but most lenders put out rate sheets when prices were only 2-3 ticks higher, if that. As such, any negative reprices would be emotional decisions based on the steady move from highs to lows since noon. Most will likely wait for any post-FOMC volatility to make itself apparent.
Fannie 3.0s are currently down 7 ticks at 102-28 and 10yr yileds are up 4bps on the day at 1.9442. Stocks are flat after opening up roughly 10 points higher in the S&P.
