Good morning and happy hump day! Today started the scheduled housing news parade with Mortgage Applications for the week ending Dec 10 and then we heard from the builders with their Dec NAHB Housing Market Index. Mortgage Applications is coming off a snapback +2.0% release last week and printed a -4.0% today. The NAHB index was expected to rise slightly to 84 from last month’s 83 reading and hit it on the nose with the 84. In other news today, all eyes will be on the Fed to gain insight as to how they plan to manage us out of our inflation quandary after yesterday’s +9.6% PPI number. Things just got real!

Bonds today are currently unchanged with the 10yr T-Note yielding 1.44%. In MBS FNMA 30yr 2.50% are -1/32 to $102-03, which yields a 2.03% and is +78 to the 5.2yr treasury curve. That’s it for today. Call or email us if you need help with any MBS or loan inquiries and have a great day!
