ALERT:
Durable Goods Slightly Weaker. Limited Market Reaction
From the release: "New orders for manufactured durable goods in August
decreased $0.2 billion or 0.1 percent to $201.8 billion,
the U.S. Census Bureau announced today. This
decrease, down two of the last three months, followed a
4.1 percent July increase. Excluding transportation, new
orders decreased 0.1 percent. Excluding defense, new
orders decreased 0.1 percent.
"Primary metals, down following five consecutive monthly increases, had the largest decrease, $0.2 billion or 0.8 percent to $24.2 billion."
We were already a bit skeptical about the market-moving potential of economic data today, but the fact that today's Durable Goods was 0.1 percent away from consensus means we didn't get to test that theory much.
After an overnight session that did little to alter yesterday's latest MBS and TSY levels, things continue to chop around in a similar area this morning:
- Fannie 3.5's are 3 ticks lower at 102-04
- Fannie 4.0's are 2 ticks lower at 104-16
- Ginnie 3.5's are 2 ticks lower at 103-23
- 10 yr notes are just over 1 bp higher at 1.994
Rate sheet offerings could be relatively unchanged if MBS don't lose much more ground. But just a few ticks lower and we'd be revisiting last night's chart linked below, hoping for a bounce:
