Logical Rally After Ceasefire Agreement
Logical Rally After Ceasefire Agreement
The wheels were already in motion by the time yesterday's recap came out, and participants in the MBS Live chat room were already high-fiving as we watched overnight price movement yesterday evening (and also hoping there wouldn't be some counterintuitive head fake). As the domestic session gets underway, things are proceeding very logically with bonds building just a bit on last night's rally and stocks doing the same. Oil prices were the earliest adopters and haven't improved on their initial drop, but they're close enough to the lows (down more than 20% from the highs). There's no big ticket data on the calendar today, so the gameplan is to babysit the rally and adapt accordingly.
logically stronger overnight and holding gains steadily so far. MBS up almost 3/8ths and 10yr down 5.2bps at 4.244
MBS up 5 ticks (.16) but down a quarter point from highs. 10yr down 2.8bps at 4.268, but up more than 3bps from lows.
