Wednesday More Likely to Take Cues From Econ Data

Wednesday More Likely to Take Cues From Econ Data

Bonds benefited from heavy stock selling late in the overnight session. This is not the typical pattern seen these days, but it's not uncommon to see some positive spillover into bonds when stock losses are sharp enough. In any event, it's not something to count on when it comes to tomorrow's motivations. For that, we actually have economic data for a change. In the absence of government agency data, if we had to pick 2 reports to carry the torch, they would be ADP employment and ISM Services PMI. Tomorrow brings us both releases and, thus, a strong chance to see data-driven volatility. 

Market Movement Recap
08:19 AM

Weaker after ADP. MBS are roughly unchanged and 10yr yields are up 2.3bps at 4.108.

MBS & Treasury Markets
UMBS 5.0 99.48 -0.10 10YR 4.115% +0.030% 11/5/2025 9:22AM EST
ADP Employment 42k vs 25k f'cast, -32k prev 42k may feel like a low payroll count, and it may not feel like significant beat vs the 25k expectation, but bonds are nonetheless selling on the news.  This serves to emphasize the extent to which weak labor expectations underpin the recent bullishness. That said, this is far from a definitive sell-off and likely places today's focus on ISM Services at 10am. MBS are roughly unchanged and 10yr yields are up ...   READ MORE
Today's Mortgage Rates
30YR Fixed 6.33% -0.01% 15YR Fixed 5.80% -0.02% 11/4/2025
The average top tier 30yr fixed mortgage rate was technically 0.01% higher than yesterday, but that's the smallest possible detected move.  It's just as fair to say rates held steady today. While it's always nice to avoid a more serious rate spike on any given day, by holding flat, rates are remaining in line with their highest levels in just over 3 weeks.  The bonds that underlie mortgage rates improved slightly throughout the day, but not enough for most mortg...   READ MORE

Not all rates are created equal and not all rates move in the same direction for the same reasons. One of the most common reasons for rates moving in opposite directions is that the underlying bonds, loans, etc. have different terms. In other words, market demand for a 7-year loan can be quite different from a 1-day loan , depending on the day. While a typical mortgage may be ABLE to last ... READ MORE
