Market Movement Recap
08:18 AM
Bonds began the overnight session slightly stronger and chopped around in a narrow range since then. 10yr yields are starting the domestic session down about 1bp. 2.0 UMBS are starting out up 2 ticks (+0.06).
09:15 AM
Quick, serendipitous weakness just now taking 10yr yields 2 bps higher and MBS an eighth lower. Looks like the bounce may be in already though. Month-end trading.
11:05 AM
Stocks are sliding and bonds have bounced back a bit. 10yr now unchanged and 2.0 UMBS up 2 tick (0.06).
05:00 PM
MBS surged into the close, ending the day more than a quarter point higher at new all-time highs. 10yr yields are effectively at all-time lows (for those who throw out March 9th craziness). And all this despite a nice recovery to stronger levels in stocks. Farewell July!
