Modest Recovery From Morning Weakness
Modest Recovery From Morning Weakness
Bonds were slightly weaker this morning in a move that looked like it might have been significant when compared to yesterday's narrow range. But in a just-barely-wider context, today's volatility was just as inconsequential as almost any of the days in December so far. With that, we'll continue to count down to next week's bigger-ticket data and more robust trader participation.
Moderately weaker overnight and sideways so far. MBS down an eighth and 10yr up 2.7bps at 4.135
bouncing back a bit. MBS down only 1 tick (.03) and 10yr up 1.2bps at 4.119
Still mostly sideways. MBS down 2 ticks (.06) and 10yr up 2.1bps at 4.128.
