Initially weaker overnight, but now stronger after a big rally at 7am-730am. MBS up 5 ticks (.16) and 10yr down 5bps at 4.067
giving up most of the AM gains. 10yr down less than half a bp at 4.112. MBS still up 3 ticks (.09) but down 5 ticks (.16) from AM highs.
10yr yields are nearly back to unchanged levels now after being down more than 5bps earlier this morning. A majority of the move has played out in the 25 minutes since the 9:30am NYSE open--further bolstering the case that the morning rally had to do with stock market losses.
MBS are along for the ride--still up 2 ticks on the day (.06) but down 6 ticks (.19) from the AM highs. Lenders who were out with rate sheets early could already be considering a reprice.
