Current Rates

Current Trend Direction:Sideways within a longer-term downtrend

Risks favor: Carefully Floating Current Price of FNMA 3.5% Bond: $98.53, -22bp

“Mortgage Bonds are starting the day lower and giving up some of yesterday afternoon’s gains. Bond prices were boosted yesterday after the results to the 2-year Note auction showed strong demand.

At 1pm ET, the Treasury will sell 5-Year Notes and how those results fare could have an impact on Bond trading.

The S&P Case Shiller Home Price Index for the year ended October showed that prices for 20 metropolitan cities fell and was the sharpest year over year decline in a year.

I will start the day by floating, but be mindful that prices are already off their best levels heading into today’s 5-Year Note auction.”
