Bonds managed to remain sideways during AM hours. In fact, MBS were as much as an eighth of a point higher versus opening levels by 11:30am. The tone soured in the PM hours. 10yr yields ultimately crested 1.48% and MBS lost nearly a quarter of a point day over day. The weakness is decidedly focused on Treasuries due to the auction cycle, corporate issuance, and the "risk-on" momentum in the broader market.

Just a bit more weakness to end the day. MBS now down a quarter point at new lows of 102-04 (102.125). 10yr right in line with last update. Illiquidity is making the MBS losses look a few ticks bigger than they are, at times.
