MBS Live: MBS Afternoon Market Summary
Afternoon trading was similar to morning trading for Treasuries, combining for an entire session of gradual losses in a decreasing range of volatility. MBS did a good enough job fighting off that negativity until the noon hour when the downtrend in price wrested control from the potential uptrend counter-currents, leaving MBS to coast gently lower into the close. The entirety of today's action took place inside yesterday's range of prices, with a good bit of cushion on either side. Uneventful to say the least.

ALERT ISSUED:
Negative Reprice Risk Picking Up As Leakage Continues
Earlier unresolved competing trends in MBS now look to be favoring the downtrends as sideways support levels in Fannie 3.0's and 3.5's are breaking down, even if less than definitively. 10yr yields finally broke through their highs of the day (also less than definitively) after threatening to do so for several hours now.
The moves are small in the big picture, but relative to the well-contained day, do create some slightly increased risks for negative reprices. The bottom line is that MBS are at their lows of the day, but in very narrow ranges. Not time to panic in general, but may be a good opportunity to lock if you were thinking about doing so today.

Overall Market Dynamics Largely Similar To This AM, MBS Hangin' Tough
Very little has changed from this morning as Treasuries continue to grind into weak-side support levels (around 1.67 in 10's) and MBS continue to try holding on to 104-29 and 102-11 as support levels in Fannie 3.5s and Fannie 3.0's currently. So far this afternoon, all of those support levels continue to hold and trading ranges have narrowed from already narrow opening levels.
The afternoon looks a bit less certain and feels a bit more vulnerable to some old-fashioned Friday afternoon leakage. We highlighted a few trendlines on Fannie 3.5's, 3.0's, and 10yr Treasuries to serve as sort of guideposts as to how things might transpire.
We've seen one negative reprice from a "usual suspect" but we don't quite see the current level of weakness as justifying that (just like we didn't see the previous level of strength justifying their earlier positive reprice). So said "usual suspect" merely returns to equilibrium while the rest of the market continues to do nothing.
Any changes to that outlook are likely to occur in low volume and be purely incidental and not at all indicative of the week ahead, unless otherwise noted. Bottom line, reprice risk is minimal but could arise positively or negatively according to how the aforementioned technical levels hold up. Very slow and uneventful otherwise and next week is a new week (with limited data, Treasury supply, and more Euro Summit meetings).
