In a move that is considered "good news for mortgage rates" a White House official has indicated that Janet Yellen will be nominated to the lead the Federal Reserve (which leads to anticipation that the central bank will continue to keep borrowing costs low for the foreseeable future).

Advice:
Treasuries advanced, led by five-year notes, after a White House official said Janet Yellen will be nominated to head the Federal Reserve, fueling bets the central bank will keep borrowing costs low. Yellens nomination has helped Treasuries, said Orlando Green, a fixed-income strategist at Credit Agricole Corporate & Investment Bank in London. The five-years are rallying the most. The belly of the curve -- the five-to-seven years tend to perform well in a rally.
 
My position on MBS stays neutral.

Market Commentary (Dan Rawitch)

Again, no schedule news because of the shutdown. The big news on the Street, which is not really news to most of us...is that Janet Yellen will be nominated today, to replace Uncle Ben. So, we go from Uncle Ben to Auntie Jan, which should be good for the markets. It will most likely also remove any chance of taper talk until well into 2014, so we COULD see a sustained rally. For now, play the trading range that we laid out several days ago.
 
I hope your day is GREAT!
