We're already starting to see signs of the MBS picking itself up by its boot-straps. We're almost back to the floor we feel through earlier at 101-01. I'll update you by the end of the session to let you know if the trend continues.

down in the 100-20 to 100-30 range. If for some stupid reason, your lender hasn't repriced yet, and their rates are in the market, go ahead and take advantage of them now. Who knows what will happen tomorrow, but I think we could recapture some of these...

Here's a tick by tick from the last 20 minutes: Now you try calling it! Still, we continue to look to be firmly settling into 101-07 range. Roughly the same price as when rates came out, maybe a little lower. But lenders were hedged a bit anyway. So it...

some wording about inflation concerns. bonds are trying to figure out which way to go currently. Looks like it will be down in price and up in rate. This could change in 5 minutes though. Dow is tanking. rates may not get much love. 10 year UST has ticked...

If you are watching the 10 year treasury today, you might have your head in the sand. MBS's have been steadily improving into this afternoon, with the 5.5% coupon at 101-15. Doesn't seem likely that lenders will reprice before big ben talks, so that raises...

As you can see in the above chart, we have leveled off and even lost a bit in our upwards surge today. Highs dinged at about 101-14 and we are currently trading around 101-09 on the 5.5% coupon. Historically, we've broken through a ceiling, see below...
