JOLTS Data Didn't Help, But it Didn't Hurt Much Either

JOLTS Data Didn't Help, But it Didn't Hurt Much Either

Bonds were moderately stronger overnight and then weaker after the 10am JOLTS data. The data itself was mixed with Job Openings higher (bad for rates) and job quits lower (good for rates). The headline took precedence and pushed yields back into higher territory on the day. Selling ebbed in the PM hours and MBS ultimately made it back to positive territory. Headlines regarding the Senate taking up the budget bill are ramping up, but with no discernible impact on the bond market so far.  Bottom line, a roughly unchanged close in bonds requires very little explanation.  On to the next data with ISM Services on Wednesday!

Sometimes a Tuesday is just a Tuesday for mortgage rates .  In the present week, any day is capable of generating some volatility due to one of several economic reports on the calendar.  This isn't always the case, but the first week of any given month is action-packed when it comes to data. Econ data is one of the top reasons that interest rates might move higher or lower on any given day.  Today's most relevant report was the Job Openings and Labor Turno...   READ MORE

In addition to being shorter than normal due to the Memorial Day holiday, there wasn't much meat on this week's event calendar--at least not as far as the rate market was concerned. Earnings releases caused some volatility in the stock market, but rates drifted sideways to slightly lower after a larger drop on Tuesday. Interestingly enough, Tuesday's drop was more to do with bond market improve... READ MORE
