Floating is still the way to go. We just crested PAR on the 5.5% coupon. That brings us up to only 9/32nds down on the day. Stay tuned for the next move!

Surprise Surprise! Inventory is at 11 months. The pace of sales slowed to 526,000 annual rate. Consensus was for 580,000. This and other factors have helped shoot down the Stock plane (which never really got off the ground) and have halted the slide in...

Ouch! Report after report this morning all with unfavorable news for MBS. OK, so there's only two major scheduled reports today, but both of them have had a negative impact on rates this morning. In addition, we have some headlines that are likely not...

in the last 20 minutes, we turned the corner and have now recaptured 5/32nds from the low point of the dive. This puts us at 4/32nds improvement on the day, which is more or less in line with where most of the lenders priced this morning.

the price drop has not turned around yet and now reprices for the worse are highly likely across the board.

The good news is that MBS prices rose this morning starting at about 10Am eastern. The bad news is that several lenders released pricing at the top of the curve and now the curve is falling a bit. We are down 5/32nds off the highs of the day which may...

As we said, it would be a slow week for economic releases, and we are seeing evidence of that again this morning as MBS is "pretty much" unchanged day over day. Currently, we are off between 0 and 3/32nds depending on which coupon you are looking at....

There are no scheduled economic reports set to release today that will effect mortgage rates, so traders will spend the day watching stocks and reacting to news headlines. Currently, MBS is about 4/32nds off its highs for the morning which puts us at...

Sorry, I thought today called for a Top Gun quote considering the MBS market just turned positive on the day. 5.5 is up 3/32nds and 6.0 is up 2/32nds! This is a big improvement considering the 5.5 note was at 99-06 at its lowest today and now it is at...

I make it a point on certain days to let you know when the treasuries are moving in concert with MBS, which gives you the ability to have instantaneous access to MBS pricing, for all intents and purposes. Conversely, I need to let you know that today...

MBS are down. If your lender has already issued rates this morning, a reprice for the worse may be potential. If you don't have rates yet, they won't be looking very good when they arrive. We're down 9/32nds on the 5.5% coupon. This will probably already...

MBS are holding steady at the moment with no change over yesterday's pricing (from the end of the day, which ended up fairly well). Currently the 5.5% coupon MBS is at 99-21 /22. Market movers today will be stocks and any potential headline risk. We are...
