The overnight session was relatively uneventful for bond markets with 10yr yields hitting lows of 2.772 before pushing not too far up to highs at 2.795 after a stronger than expected German IFO Business Climate report. This was a bigger problem for German...

Momentum coming out of this morning's Philly Fed data leveled-off around noon, and looked to be under some pressure just after the 10yr TIPS auction at 1pm. Trading is getting a bit sloppy for MBS with liquidity much easier to come by in the morning...

- Philly Fed at 6.5 vs 15.0 forecast! Needless to say, the rest of the reports internals are weak as well, especially the Employment Index at 1.1 vs 15.4 previously. At the very least, this has arrested the breakaway move into weaker territory that immediately...

Yesterday - Big nasty sell-off, partly in the works even before FOMC - FOMC Minutes greatly accelerated the weakness - Fed sounding a lot less opposed to asset purchases reduction than surveys suggest Today - Decent amount of economic data but no watershed...

MBS and Treasuries (and stocks for that matter) are now heading into new price lows for the day. 10yr yields are up to 2.79 and Fannie 3.5s are down 14 ticks to 101-03. Reprice risk remains maxed-out for those who have yet to see one, and fairly high...

Back in May and June, the Fed was either clearly finding a sense of urgency about managing the pace of asset purchases or they clearly wanted us to believe the same. This resulted in the rapid rise in rates that we're all too familiar with. The tone of...

Negative reprices are incrementally more likely among lenders that haven't already repriced negatively today. After holding on to a ledge at 101-19, Fannie 3.5s just ticked down to 101-18. Further losses could be on the way according to 10yr Treasuries...

Treasuries began the overnight session aimlessly sideways until 10pm. From there, they trended moderately higher in yield and at a pace that continued through to the domestic open. There was a brief pause in that momentum around 6am as German Bunds bounced...

We've seen scattered positive reprices so far today and the possibility remains as the day winds down. Fannie 3.5s are up 14 ticks at 101-29 and 10yr yields are down to 2.664. Volume has been light all day and the movement doesn't owe itself to...

Some lenders who released rates early enough today may already be in a position to reprice as MBS are up at least a quarter of a point since then. Much of the improvement arrived after the stock market opened though the 10am NAHB data helped the gains...
