Bond markets are just slightly weaker, and have thus far been doing a decent job of keeping those losses contained. There hasn't been much by way of 'market-movers' with cues instead coming from technical levels and traders reacting to other trades ("tradeflow considerations"). 

Treasuries were actually stronger overnight, in response to European bond market strength.  But as soon as the domestic market began firing on all cylinders, the aforementioned tradeflows kicked off a very fast, but fairly well-contained bout of snowball selling.  That brought 10yr yields from 2.594 to 2.629 in fairly short order.

It's a good idea to keep an eye on 2.625 as a sort of line in the sand to further weakness in Treasuries.  10yr yields are currently hovering in the 2.61's, and have been for about 2 hours now. 

MBS are near their lows of the day, off 5 ticks in Fannie 3.5s and 2 ticks in 4.0s.  Keep in mind that today's prices reflect June coupons while yesterday's were May coupons.  That means the drop in prices looks much bigger than 2-5 ticks (more like 12-15).  But in terms of actual movement, June MBS prices are only down the 2-5 ticks.

A recap of featured comments from the Live Discussion on the MBS Live Dashboard.
John Tassios  :  "been a long while , good to see 3.5 again"
Matthew Graham  :  "3.5 is more important at these levels, but 4.0 is not unimportant."
Victor Burek  :  "from Goldman, growth will explode to 3.9% in Q2 (a full percentage point higher than their previous estimate)."
Victor Burek  :  "Last week, Q1 GDP growth was reported at a disappointing +0.1%. Based on data arriving since the initial estimate—including March factory orders, construction spending, and the trade balance—we now estimate Q1 growth at -0.6%. The good news is that Q1 was distorted by a number of one-off factors, including the negative weather shock, a large drag from net exports, and a sizable inventory correction, which should not be repeated in Q2."
