MBS Day Ahead: Markets Look to Powell to Confirm (or Reject) Outlook

by Matthew Graham on July 10 2019, 9:16 AM

In the day just passed, bonds weakened slightly but remained inside the recent range. The weakness is in line with a linear trend leading to the upper end of the range following Friday's strong jobs report. We can assume that the willingness to remain...
MBS RECAP: Bonds Staging For a Range Breakout

Bonds weakened today, even if only slightly. It was enough to bring 10yr yields right up to the closest and arguably most significant overhead technical level at 2.07%. If we consider that ceiling to be a small zone between 2.06 and 2.07, it came into...

by Matthew Graham on July 09 2019, 9:21 AM

In the day just past, bonds began the week slowly and without much conviction. Friday's post-NFP weakness was essentially confirmed by the fact that yields held near post-NFP highs without any meaningful push back. The consolation is that we didn't...

Today was the story of a bond market that is considering a potential shift in momentum in response to a confluence of events. These include last Friday's jobs report, the raft of speeches from Fed Chair Powell in the coming days, and to a lesser extent...
MBS Day Ahead: Momentum Shift Confirmation

by Matthew Graham on July 08 2019, 9:13 AM

In the week just past, bonds rallied hard into the Independence Day holiday. 10yr yields hit fresh multi-year lows before getting slammed by a jobs report that came out much stronger than expected. The resulting weakness brought them in line with the...
MBS RECAP: It Could Have Been a Lot Worse

If we went back to Monday morning and learned that today's NFP number would come in at 224k, any sane person would have guessed yields would be much higher than they are this afternoon. At the time, 10s were just over 2.02%, and we ended today at...

On Wednesday, bond markets digested two of the week's most important economic reports in the from of ADP employment and ISM non-manufacturing. Appointments of new central bankers in the US and Europe provided a modestly positive backdrop while the...

In the day just past, the bond market finally made its first move outside of the recent consolidation range--a series of lower highs and higher lows that had been intact since Fed day on June 19th. There were some cases to be made for underlying events...

In the amusement park that is financial markets, each asset class has a few favorite rides. When the place is packed, it's tough for any given asset class to take too many turns on any given ride within a certain amount of time. A big old rally is...

In the day just past, bonds did an admirable job of fending off the implications of the weekend's G20 news (US/China reopening trade talks, etc). While the news wasn't exactly a surprise, it still carried implications for higher stock prices and...

There was certainly some risk of volatility associated with the G20 summit over the weekend, even if no one expected it to produce any fundamental changes (either in the global economy or the market-based response). For such things to transpire, we'll...

In the week just past, bonds avoided a negative correction following the previous week's Fed-induced rally. There was plenty of back and forth, but it was all contained inside the range of yields seen on June 19th (Fed day). By the end of the week...

Bonds were perfectly unchanged to start the day after the smallest amount of overnight movement we've seen all week. This is a palpable reminder that this week has indeed been all about coming to terms with the post-Fed range and preparing for what...

In the day just past, both stocks and bonds showed a greater predisposition to react to trade-related headlines (more so in stocks, but noticeable in bonds as well). This likely has a lot to do with the impending start of the G20 summit and the various...

by Matthew Graham on June 27 2019, 5:33 PM

Stop me if you've heard this one before: bonds have been trading in a mostly sideways, consolidative range ahead of what should prove to be key events that motivate a break outside of said range. Sure, it may be a common stance for the bond market...
