First thing’s first: if you haven’t seen the adverse market fee make it back onto rate sheets yet, that makes locking a no-brainer. If you have, then we can move on to considering the impact from the Fed Announcement. Today’s video discusses the relevant considerations in detail.

Market Movement Recap
08:26 AM
Bonds were unchanged to start the overnight session but lost ground modestly during European hours. Stocks are up almost another 1%, but the bond weakness doesn’t look too correlated with that. 10yr up half a bp at .68%. UMBS 2.0 opening down 1 tick (-0.03) at 103-01 (103.03).
02:45 PM
Intensely uneventful trading session as bonds drift sideways ahead of tomorrow’s Fed announcement. No change from the last update in MBS. Treasury yields are a hair lower but still slightly higher on the day.
03:48 PM
Stick a fork in the bond market. If we didn’t see any appreciable volatility at the 3pm CME close, “it’s done” for the day. All eyes on the Fed tomorrow, with a slight chance of some volatility with the morning’s econ data (Retail Sales).
