MBS are still not much weaker than they were before the jobs report, but they're now down an eighth from the AM highs. Some of the earliest lenders publish rate sheets around the time of those hi...
Nonfarm payrolls came in 100k higher than forecast and the unemployment dropped even as the participation rate moved higher. That's a recipe for a bond market sell-off if we ever saw one. But apa...
As has been the case so many times in recent months, the 9:30am NYSE open proved to be the most actionable time of morning for the bond market. Tech stocks got brutalized with the NASDAQ plummeti...
Bonds are starting the day a few bps weaker. 10yr yields are just over 4.90% and considering they were almost 50bps higher a month ago, you're free to go about your business today without scrutin...
Just a quick update to amend the recent alert. 10yr yields are back down near the lows of the day (-5.2bps at 4.918) and MBS have bounced 3 ticks (.09).
Negative reprice risk is quickly ...
There are several moving parts to today's trading levels, but the TL;DR is that bonds are holding modest gains so far despite some 2-way volatility. The overnight session started out with the str...
Bonds are still stronger on the day, but they're well off their highs now with investors rotating aggressively back into equities. MBS are down 6 ticks (.19) from the AM highs. Because those high...
Job Openings (JOLTS) came out much stronger than expected and bonds are continuing to move into negative territory, following an initial pull back after additional war-related headlines.
...
Bonds were sideways to slightly weaker overnight, but they're rallying back to unchanged levels in the 8am hour following favorable headlines regarding the Iran war. Iranian officials float...
For most lenders, unless you've already seen a positive reprice, this will be more of a heads-up than a true alert.
MBS are still up 2 ticks (.06) on the day, but down 5 ticks (.16) from...
Bonds were initially a hair weaker at the start of the overnight session, but rallied gradually after that. The sharpest gains arrived at the 9:30am NYSE open, suggesting money manager reallocati...
FT is reporting Anthropic may not receive an "investment grade" rating after its forthcoming IPO. This would make AI-related financing more expensive and generally contribute to the "tech jitters...
MBS are down an eighth on the day and just over an eighth versus some lenders' rate sheet print times.
Reprice risk is minimal at this very moment, but would progressively increase if we...
Bonds were initially stronger in the overnight session with 10yr yields briefly falling under 4.90%. The rally generally aligned with overnight losses in the stock market, at least at first. When...
Lenders who published rates between 9:30 and 10:15am ET are now seeing 6 ticks (.19) of weakness in MBS. Negative reprices are now a possibility for the jumpier among them. There is no new justif...
PCE inflation was almost perfectly in line with even the unrounded expectations. The monthly core number was 0.32 vs 0.34 (or .3 vs .3 on most econ calendars). Perhaps the modest miss helps expla...
MBS are back to their weakest levels of the day after the Fed announcement. The move has been relatively low in volume and fairly gradual. We continue to expect a far greater chance of actual vol...
The Federal Open Market Committee approved the following statement for release by a 12 10 – 0 2 vote: The Committee decided to raise maintain the target range for the federal fu...
Coreweave stock moved higher again overnight and Coreweave bond yields continued lower, with some issues now back to yields seen 2 weeks ago. Treasuries/MBS have been doing their best to hold sid...
Lenders who were out with rates before 10:15am are already seeing an eighth of a point of weakness. The jumpier crowd has occasionally been known to reprice in these situations.
"Neocloud" has entered the commentary. This is shorthand for the market segment in which Coreweave operates. Neocloud companies have been the epicenter of recent concerns in tech that have helped...
Bonds are technically just a hair stronger this morning, but in the slightly bigger picture, nothing has happened yet this week (not that we'd expect that to be the case before 10am on a Monday)....
Here's your obligatory daily heads-up that MBS have dropped just over an eighth of a point from AM highs (frequent occurrence of late).
Very few lenders--if any--will see this as grounds...
Little has changed between yesterday's close and this morning's early trading. 10yr yields are still several bps under 5%. MBS are still effectively at the highest levels in a month. Tech i...
There is very little negative reprice risk for the average lender as they're still not fully caught up with the improvements in MBS. But for those few lenders who have aggressively repriced for t...
Oil prices are up. Bond yields are down sharply. If this was early September, that wouldn't make sense. Bonds decoupled from the oil correlation on Fed week and then REALLY decoupled as stronger ...
After leveling off earlier, selling is resuming now with 10yr yields up a quick 2.6bps at 5.137 and MBS now down more than a quarter point from many lenders' rate sheet print times.
Nega...
MBS are still technically up 1 tick (.03) on the day, but they're down 5 ticks (.16) from the AM highs. Unfortunately, those highs coincided with many early lenders' rate sheet print times. As su...
We find ourselves in a bit of a lull in the bond market this week, and we don't object! Yields aren't screaming back up toward recent highs. Nor are they extending last week's swift rally. Both w...
Treasuries were at their best levels of the day at 10:30am ET, but are now at their worst levels with 10yr yields still down 1.3bps at 5.122.
MBS aren't yet back to the AM lows, but are off th...
The bond market continues to decide who it wants to be in Q4, 2026--the harbinger of inflation concerns, debt issuance and economic growth or a safe haven for cash being freed up by AI capex dele...
Negative reprice risk is now a consideration for most lenders and not just the jumpier "early crowd."
MBS are down 10 tick (.31) on the day and at least 5 ticks (.16) for almost any lend...
Bonds have been trending steadily weaker this morning. 10yr yields are up almost 5bps to 5.128 and MBS are down a quarter point on the day and just over an eighth from highs.
Because the highs...
Last week's most notable development was a flight to safety in the bond market precipitated by concerns about a shift in tech sector sentiment. The shift in question was mainly driven by Coreweav...
Selling continued after the last alert. Losses are driven by a big surge in oil prices. We're not seeing a compelling reason for that yet other than unconfirmed reports of some pipeline attack.
