MBS Live: MBS Afternoon Market Summary

There's very little to observe and even less to conclude about the day of MBS trading so far.  Fannie 4.0s have held within 2 ticks of 102-24 since 9:30am, and haven't so much as blinked during that time.  10's have maintained a slightly negative bias (moving higher in yield), but have done so in narrow range as well--just not as narrow or stable as MBS.   With less than an hour left, it doesn't look like this will change between now and the close. Tomorrow is similarly empty in terms of economic data, though the 3yr Treasury Auction kicks off the week's auction cycle at 1pm.

Pricing shown below is delayed, please note the timestamp at the bottom. Real time pricing is available via MBS Live.

Matthew Graham  :  "Usually only when they're forced to. Mid 2011 comes to mind. Also, keep in mind that re: "obvious," the wires would often make more sense in the context of the speech. This was likely in response to a "Q" during the Q&A."

Gary Bracht  :  "MG, gee, there is a blinding flash of the obvious with Fed policy thinkers...wonder if other branches of the government might ponder that question too?"

Matthew Graham  :  "RTRS- WILLIAMS: FED DOES NEED TO THINK ABOUT UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES IN FORMULATING MONETARY POLICY "
