Stronger than expected economic data has caused Mortgage Backed Securities to move lower this morning. The Empire State manufacturing index surged to 12.5 (well above the consensus prediction of 4.0)...its highest level since May, 2012. December PPI inflation rose 0.4% from November, matching the consensus, and it was 1.2% higher than one year ago. Core PPI, which excludes food & energy, increased 0.3%, far above the consensus prediction of 0.1%. The net result of this news is a market opening of roughly .125 - .250 WORSE to the points/credits associated with each interest rate option.
