Job openings came in higher than expected and significantly higher than August's levels (the last JOLTS data we received).  This is pushing yields higher and MBS lower.  The damage might be more severe if not for the "quits" component of the data which fell to its cycle lows (good for bonds).

10yr yields were in stronger territory, but are now up almost 2bps on the day at 4.179.  MBS were roughly unchanged, but are now down almost a quarter point.
