Good morning and happy hump day! Today we do have some news! On this CPI Wednesday, our early release was Mortgage Applications for the week ending May 6. It was coming off the first increase in 8 weeks and only the second in the past 13 weeks. Today makes it two weeks in a row with +2.00%! In other news today, refinance activity is collapsing in the face of higher rates, down to 20% of total lending activity. Compare this to March 2020, when it got to 76% of all home lending. Also, today’s housing supply is finally starting to improve, as high prices and rising interest rates dampen demand.

Bonds today have been all over the board. Currently the 10yr T-Note is -8/32 to yield 3.02%. In MBS FNMA 30yr 4.00% are -4/32 to $98-31, which is a 4.16% yield and +113 to the 7.7yr treasury curve. Everyone please have a great day, and call or email with your MBS and loan inquiries!
