"Revision" is the word of the day as every armchair economist struggles to understand how the NFP revisions could be so big. Given that it's not 2020 or 2021, today's revisions were indeed on the large side (those years were MUCH larger... 2021's average NFP revisions was 159k). It speaks to a marked deterioration in the labor market or some limitation in BLS manpower/funding or methodology. Either way, markets traded it in a massive way. 2yr yields (more closely linked to Fed Funds Rate expectations) fell almost 30bps! Mortgage rates are back to mid October levels.
Massive rally after NFP. MBS up half a point. 10yr down 10.6bps at 4.265
Rally continues. MBS up 18 ticks (.56) and 10yr down 13.4bps at 4.237
Stunning near-30bp rally in 2yr yields. 10yr down 15bps at 4.22 and MBS up nearly 3/4th of a point.
