MBS Live: MBS Morning Market Summary
For what seems like the first time in a long time, Treasuries are the noticeable underperformer today in the sense that they're weaker of their own accord. Stocks certainly haven't rallied enough to suggest a 5bp hike in 10yr yields, nor has the Euro. Even Treasuries' most stalwart companion from a correlation standpoint, German Bunds, haven't suggested (or followed) the same level of volatility so far this morning. Just heading into the 11am hour now and a bit of additional Treasury weakness is cropping up following the Fed's scheduled "twist" buying in the long end. Thankfully though, MBS are doing their "stuck in the mud" routine with Fannie 3.5's just a tick away from the gravity well at 105-00. 3.0's similarly supportive levels rest between 102-16 and 102-13 and 3s currently trade at 102-14. We're sensitive to further weakness in Treasuries ultimately forcing MBS to capitulate somewhat to lower prices. Prospects for that increase if 10's break above their earlier highs near 1.67 and if that happens, we're feeling defensive heading into the noon hour.

ALERT ISSUED:
Bond Markets Weaker Overnight And This Morning. Data Calendar Empty
With all of the potential market moving events mentioned in The Day Ahead having come and gone, bond markets moved from a flat Asian session to a slightly weaker European session.
The weakness continues now in the domestic session, and is currently contending with a small risk rally after the ECB loosened ratings requirements for asset-backed securities. The Euro experienced it's biggest spike of the session. Equities followed, and bond markets are doing their best to hold underneath earlier morning weak spots, but look like they might be failing presently
10yr yields were as high as 1.6588 earlier this morning but just now broke above 1.66. There's additional overhead support at 1.69, if things continue to deteriorate. Fannie 3.5's are down 5 ticks on the day at 104-29 as are 3.0's at 102-13, noticeably firmer to Treasuries
There are no significant events left on the calendar for today, so it's either headline-watching or setting up for next week's supply.
