Good morning and happy almost weekend! Everyone’s focus today is on Unemployment and Non-Farm Payroll. We’ll see if we can dig up some MBS news, as there are no scheduled releases. First up: a Bloomberg article about MBS trading volume is picking up and shows the relative size of the Fed’s $40 billion a month in MBS purchases versus all 24 primary dealers averaging long positions of $75.9 billion, all in the most recent sample week. When the Fed stops buying MBS there will likely be a dramatic lower price correction, in the short-term at least. There’s also an excellent article about how to prevent a foreclosure. Even if this doesn’t impact you, it may help some of your friends or family, here’s the link: https://www.legalreader.com/how-to-prevent-a-foreclosure/

Bonds today are down in price moderately, with the 10yr T-Notes -9/32 to yield 1.60%. In MBS, 30yr FNMA 2.50% are -8/32 to $102-26, which gives us a 1.84% yield that is +84 to the 4.8yr treasury curve. Everyone have a great long weekend and call us or email if you need help with any MBS or loan inquiries!
