MBS Live: MBS Afternoon Market Summary
10yr Treasuries--the best way we have to track the broader domestic bond market overnight--made it to the European session at the same levels seen just before Friday's NFP.  The European session was immediately bond-market friendly and ushered 10's from 1.72 to 1.69, roughly.  MBS walked into the New York session several ticks improved from Friday afternoon and along with Treasuries, rallied mildly though remained capped by resistance to more meaningful gains.  By the end of the session, both have returned roughly in line with the morning levels--better than Friday's latest levels, but off the mid-day highs.

Afternoon Reprice Alerts and Updates
Below is a recap of instant Reprice Alerts and updates issued via email and text alert to MBS Live subscribers this afternoon.
3:00PM  :  ALERT ISSUED: Some Selling Pressure, MBS Off Highs, Negative Reprice Risk?
We've seen two negative reprices so far today but neither of them are attributable to market weakness. The magic number for ACTUAL reprice risk to be increasing would be a break below 105-02 in Fannie 3.0s (and even then, we'd just be scratching the surface).

That having been said, we're getting closer. Fannie 3.0s are still 7 ticks up on the day, but have peeled back from recent 105-05 highs and are currently at 105-03. 10yr yields have trended higher since bottoming out at 2:20pm just under 1.675.

If these moderate losses continue at these moderate paces, we could imagine other lenders getting on board with the idea of negative reprices ahead of an uncertain few sessions ahead. Until we actually break 105-02 this is an earlier-than-normal alert, despite the fact that two lenders have repriced.
