Lows May Be In For The Day. Reprice Risk Now Varies By Lender
We finally got a bounce that has materialized into something meaningful. The lows look like they starged coming in as early as 11:30, but were dragged lower still at 12:11pm. At that point, the cries of "come get me down here sellers!" from the bid side dried up and value buying at the wides kicked in. In other words, spreads blew out so much that the "limit" was reached for the day, and should continue to hold as long as Treasuries hold their range.

Negative reprice risk now ebbs for the quick-acting lenders and those who already repriced. There could still be some laggards yet to come with a negative reprices, but the bounce is such that we wouldn't rule out a corrective positive reprice as well. Either way, bleeding stopped for now. Fannie 3.0s at 101-20 after hitting 101-13 lows. The floor is somewhere between 101-14 and 101-16 though, and the absolute lows of the day stand out as more isolated "overrun." 10's are up to 2.013 and we'd be a bit concerned if they run above 2.03. Otherwise, this might be the last update until Tuesday morning! Let's hope that it is.

In Case The Last Two Alerts Weren't Clear, There Will Be More Reprices
Because MBS have completely left the building. Well... Buyers have left the building anyway. Fannie 3.0s are at 2013 lows (lowest prices since May 2012 actually), currently down 8 ticks at 101-14. This is not event driven. There's no headline or fundamental data motivating the movement. Instead this is purely a factor of tradeflows in bond markets in general and MBS-specific illiquidity. Quad-witching and an early close are not helping. No one's a buyer right now. That said, we may catch a bounce, but not before we see more reprices.

Well, April 15 is past us now. The United States is dealing with the terrible tragedy in Boston, and our thoughts go out to that city. April 15 was also "tax day": in 2009, Americans paid $866 billion in taxes to the federal government with the top 1% of earners (those making more than $343,927) paying 37% of that figure. The bottom 50%, those who earned less than $32,396, paid $19 billion in taxes. Taxes do influence behavior - with the November election in California raising its state taxes, for...

Mortgage Rates Break Cyprus Slide, Move to 2-Week Lows

Mortgage rates moved lower today at their fastest pace in more than a week, bringing them in line with their lowest levels since last week's Cyprus-related market movement. Lender pricing strategies continue to be varied and some lenders didn't improve nearly as much as the average. That said, it was enough to clearly tip the scales in favor of 3.625% as a prevailing Best-Execution rate ( what is this? ) for 30yr Fixed loans. 3.75% and 3.5% may be more viable depending on the scenario and the lender...
