MBS CLOSE: On The Doorstep Of A Brave "Old" World
Posted To: MBS Commentary When something is on a doorstep--any doorstep--there are only two places it can be going: either back inside the metaphorical house, or back to the world outside. Bonds, as represented not by our namesake MBS, but by the 10yr Treasury note, find themselves in just such a dualistic state this evening. They too, are on a doorstep, their location being most perfectly defined neither by the "outside" or the "inside." when we are talking about outside versus inside, it's in reference to the range in which the 10 year treasury was trading between August 21 and December 14, 2009, "the brave old world." These four months represent a unique time in the economic history surrounding the financial crisis. it was a unique time in and of itself in that we were neither rising...( read more ) Forward this article via email: Send a copy of this story to someone you know that may want to read it.
MBS LUNCH: Well Off Friday's Highs, But Holding Ground
Posted To: MBS Commentary As AQ pointed out this morning, today's slightly downward trend in MBS price began in the final hours of Friday's trading. Both MBS and Treasuries put in their best marks of the day just before 2pm, and have moved steadily downward ever since. You may notice, however, that both markets appear to be losing that negative steam near current levels. For Treasuries, that looks to be around 3.60 and for MBS, around 101-08. At the moment, the Fannie 4.5 is a tick higher than that at 101-09, but is still 5 ticks lower from Friday's closing prices. All that being said, the more important trends to watch pertain to the generally supportive range for MBS that emerged even before Friday's boomy rally. AQ pointed this out as well, and it remains pertinent at the moment. You can see on Thursday...( read more ) Forward this article via email: Send a copy of this story to someone you know that may want to read it.

MBS OPEN: Sideways Start. Searching for Guidance
Posted To: MBS Commentary Good Morning. Congrats to the Saints. Here is a recap of my weekend.... We had a blizzard...32 inches of THUNDER SNOW . The driveway was defeated with snowblowers. This is only the first half of the driveway by the way.... The CAPS came from behind to beat the pens. Ovie had a trick plus the game winning assist in OT. Thats 14 in a row for the C-A-P-S CAPS CAPS CAPS. Troy saw his shadow. AH! Six more weeks of football. The Saints won....then my milkaholic ex-gf Lindsay came over. Phew. I am zonked. What a weekend. Stocks sold off in a panicky fashion last week as sovereign debt concerns grew over Greece, Portugal, and Spain's ballooning budget deficit and rising borrowing costs. If a coordinated global recovery is to remain on course, one has to assume some sort of financial intervention...( read more ) Forward this article via email: Send a copy of this story to someone you know that may want to read it.
