10yr Yields Finally Break The Range
10yr Yields Finally Break The Range
Despite an absence of market movers on the calendar, bonds found a reason to move. In fact, 10yr yields staged their first legit breakout from the narrow trading range of the past 4 months. Whether that has any implications for the future is a debate for technical analysts to have with fundamental traders. There was an extra little jolt of mid-day weakness when Trump suggested Hassett was out of the running for the Fed Chair nomination, but the day's bond losses would still be better-characterized as gradual and non-event-driven. MBS outperformed yet again for the same old reason (actual and/or anticipated GSE MBS purchases), but nonetheless ended the week at the lows.
Losing ground from flat, opening levels. MBS down 5 ticks (.16) and 10yr up 4.1bps at 4.215.
Off the weakest levels in MBS, now down 3 ticks (.09). 10yr near weakest levels, up 4bps at 4.214
Down to new lows. MBS down 5 ticks (.16) and 10yr up 5.6bps at 4.23
