MARKET COMMENT Mortgage bond prices continued to rebound higher last week, which pushedmortgage interest rates lower. Stock gains kept mortgage bonds relatively in check but many of the data releases were very bond friendly. The core PCE inflation reading was unchanged compared to the slight increase expected by analysts. Q4 revised productivity rose 6.9%, much better than expected. Higher productivity means a company can produce more with less input helping to keep prices and thus inflation in check. Rates fell about 1/8 of a discount point for the week. Expect stocks to factor into trading the early portion of the week with very little data on tap. The Treasury auctions will be the focus throughout the middle portion of the week. Strong foreign demand would likely help mortgage bonds... 03/07/2010

MARKET COMMENT Mortgage bond prices fell last week pushing mortgage interest rates considerably higher. The bond market took a hit as inflation concerns emerged after the stronger than expected producer price index data. Producer prices surged in January amid higher energy costs to almost double expectations. The Fed made a surprise rate hike to the discount rate that also resulted in mortgage rate increases. The only positive was the tame consumer inflation reading Friday morning but we were unable to rebound from the earlier losses. Unfortunately rates rose over a full discount point for the week. The consumer confidence data Tuesday will set the tone for trading this week. New home sales, weekly jobless claims, and the gross domestic product data also may move the financial markets. ... 02/22/2010

MARKET COMMENT Mortgage bond prices rose last week pushing mortgage interest rates slightly lower. Reignited fear of a global economic meltdown sent money into the mortgage bond market in flight to quality buying. The news reports were permeated with worries about European debt payment defaults. Greece and a few other countries were noted as specific concerns. The employment report Friday morning was mixed with unemployment not as bad as expected but a larger than expected drop in payrolls. For the week interest rates fell by about 1/4 of a discount point. The record debt issuance continues with billions of dollars worth of notes and bonds set for auction this week. Strong foreign demand will likely help the entire bond market. With the recent "revisions" to employment data the weekly j... 02/08/2010

MARKET COMMENT Mortgage bond prices rose last week pushing mortgage interest rates lower. The bond market rallied following crumbling stocks as the DOW fell 213 points Thursday. Weekly jobless claims came in higher than expected causing unemployment fears to cast a shadow over the state of the economy. In a consumer based economy it is difficult for people to spend money without a job. The producer price index was mixed as the headline figure was higher than expected but the core was lower than expected. For the week interest rates fell by about 1/4 of a discount point. The Fed meeting Wednesday will be the most important event this week. The Treasury will continue the record auctions with 2-year notes on Tuesday, 5-year notes on Wednesday, and 7-year notes on Thursday. If foreign dema... 01/24/2010

MARKET COMMENT Mortgage bond prices rose last week pushing mortgage interest rates lower. The bond market rallied nicely Tuesday following moves by China to curb growth. Oil prices fell almost immediately providing a much-needed reprieve following the recent run up in prices tied to severe cold weather across the US. The consumer price index data showed tame inflation, which also helped rates improve. For the week interest rates fell by about 1/2 of a discount point. The inflation data Wednesday will be the most important economic release this week. Signs of stronger than expected inflation would not be good for mortgage interest rates. The bond market is closed Monday in honor of the Martin Luther King holiday. Interest rates may be volatile Tuesday as trading resumes following the ext... 01/19/2010

MARKET COMMENT Mortgage bond prices rose last week pushing mortgage interest rates lower. Thebond market was buoyed by the announcement that US Treasury increased the credit lines of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac a total of $400 billion.

The employment report Friday was generally bond friendly. For the week interest rates fell by about 1/4 of a discount point. The inflation data Friday will be the most important economic data this week. Signs of stronger than expected inflation would not be good for mortgage interest rates. The Treasury auctions will also dominate trading. Stronger than norma... 01/11/2010

MARKET COMMENT Mortgage bond prices fell last week pushing mortgage interest rates higher. The bond market was choppy most of the week as thin trading conditions magnified movements. We started the week with rates heading higher Monday. Fortunately there was a bit of a rally Tuesday and Wednesday as the Treasury auctions were decent. Those gains were short-lived as the weekly jobless claims figure wasn't as bad as expected. The bond market closed early Thursday and was closed the entire day Friday. For the week interest rates rose by about 1/4 of a discount point. ISM Index data will set the tone for trading this week. The employment report will be the most important release but it doesn't arrive until Friday. This will be the first full week of trading this year. It will be interesting... 01/04/2010

MARKET COMMENT Mortgage bond prices rose last week pushing mortgage interest rates lower. The economic data continues to be mixed. Personal income, outlays, and PCE inflation data were stronger than expected. Trading was thin and erratic. Thin trading conditions, news of the looming debt crisis in Dubai and a continued influx of Fed money into the mortgage bond market helped rates improve. Interest rates finished the week improved by about 1/2 of a discount point. The employment report will be the most important release this week. This is one of those weeks where there are many economic releases classified as very important or important. The potential for market volatility is increased when these types of reports are released. Be alert throughout the entire week. LOOKING AHEAD EconomicI... 11/30/2009

MARKET COMMENT Mortgage bond prices rose last week pushing mortgage interest rates lower. The Fed spent another $45 billion buying mortgage bonds between November 5th and the 11th. For all the criticism the Fed receives for the handling of the economy, they do deserve credit for keeping mortgage interest rates low throughout this year. How it all plays out in the long term is uncertain. The record Treasury auctions continued to be absorbed in trading without any major problems. For the week, interest rates improved by about 7/8ths of a discount point. The consumer price index data Wednesday will be the most important release this week. Producer price index data along with retail sales data will set the tone for the start of the week. Inflation indications would likely hurt mortgage inte... 11/15/2009
