My position on MBS:
Short term Changes to Neutral.
Long term Stays Short.
 
Long = I anticipate pricing to improve which leads to lower Rates.
Neutral = Market should stay close to open plus or minimums 25bps.
Short = I anticipate pricing to weaken which leads to higher Rates.
 
Short term = 1 - 2 days out
Long term = 30+ days out

 

 

Market Commentary (Dan Rawitch)

 

This morning we've hit the 50% retracement level I promised last week. This level (100.30) is also a key point of resistance which I dont know if we will be able to break through until next weeks FED meeting. Although, the DOW is currently off 180 points and further declines could drive a flight to quality and drive bond prices higher. Unless this does happen on the equity market side, I would consider the current level to be the top of the range and lock accordingly.  Click here for more information.
