Activity remains quiet early in the afternoon hours on this summer Friday. The FN 4.5 has moved 11 ticks (11/32) off the lows of the day. Some lenders baked a chaos cushion into rate sheet this morning, as prices are off the lows you may see spotty reprices for the better. Woo freaking Hooo right?

If servicers have more selling to do (not likely should be done with)...you might see some price volatility.
