From Matthew Graham at Mortgage News Daily: MBS RECAP: New Week, New Sense of Urgency
The new week wasted no time in differentiating itself from the previous week as bonds sold off somewhat briskly this morning. … The bigger question of “where do we go from here” may depend on the incoming data and especially Wednesday afternoon’s Fed announcement/forecasts. Despite the early selling pressure, bonds offered some reassurance in the afternoon by holding calmly under 1.50%. [30 year fixed 3.05%]
