Shutdown is Over. Don't Get Excited

Shutdown is Over. Don't Get Excited

First off, the market expected a shutdown resolution by mid November and especially since this past weekend.  That's the reason today's news means essentially nothing in terms of being a surprise headline.  On the data front, today is also meaningless in the short term. It's not as if the backlog of econ data will suddenly be released. The only exception is the September jobs report, which could still be released this week since it was largely ready to go before the shutdown. As for the initial reaction in bonds, it's been modestly weaker, as expected, but not weak enough to offset yesterday's gains so far.

MBS are now at the weakest levels of the day, down 6 ticks (.19) overall and an eighth of a point from the highs. Negative reprices aren't especially likely for the average lender, but the possibility can no longer be ruled out for the jumpiest lenders. 10yr yields are still below their intraday highs, up 4.6bps on the day at 4.111.   READ MORE
Today's Mortgage Rates
30YR Fixed 6.34% +0.05% 15YR Fixed 5.83% +0.03% 11/13/2025
Mortgage rates are based on bond market movement and bonds are much stronger today compared to Monday. Although bonds were closed yesterday for the Veterans Day holiday, there was an important piece of economic data that suggested lower rates today. The data in question was the new weekly payroll count from ADP. Whereas October's monthly data (which came out last week) suggested 42k new jobs created, yesterday's weekly data showed an 11k DECREASE in the payroll count. ...   READ MORE

Rates are dictated by bonds and bonds take cues from economic data. But during the shutdown, the most important data has been on hold. This week brought a rare concentration of non-government data to help bridge the gap and bonds were more than willing to respond. Almost all the volatility transpired on Wednesday and Thursday surrounding a few key reports. Wednesday's ADP employment was first u... READ MORE
