Advice:
Rates on Treasury bills maturing in October have fallen from their highest levels this week as officials in Washington show signs they may agree on a short-term extension to the U.S. governments borrowing authority. Securities due in November saw rates jump yesterday after House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio said he would offer a measure to postpone the deadline for Congress to lift the debt ceiling to Nov. 22 from Oct. 17. Ten-year notes headed for a two-week loss, signaling waning demand for the safety of bonds. Credit-default swaps insuring against losses on Treasuries were set for the biggest weekly decline in a month. The fact that its far from a done deal and it seems that were only talking about a six-week delay means certainly for the bond markets it doesnt amount to a great deal of relief, said John Wraith, a fixed-income strategist at Bank of America Corp. in London. Youve seen a small decline in the distress in late October Treasury bills but it has just spilled over into those maturing in November and December.
 
My position on MBS stays neutral.

Market Commentary (Dan Rawitch)

All the big news I was hoping to get a gander of was delayed. We did get to see Michigan Sentiment which was the lowest reading in all of 2013.
 
Our correction found support and now it appears to be headed back up to test the 101.50ish level. Be careful though. The market told us yesterday that a debt ceiling deal may be bearish for the market.
