Mortgage Rate Update 9-15-14: Trends & Projections

By
Mortgage and Lending with AmeriFirst Financial Inc, San Diego, CA NMLS 259027

Weaker than expected economic data has lifted Mortgage Backed Securities slightly this morning. August Industrial Production declined 0.1% from July, below the consensus for an increase of 0.3%. This report far offsets the strong Empire State Regional Manufacturing Index, which rose to 27.5%, far above the consensus of 16%.

Compared to Friday's closing, the market has opened roughly the same for the Points/Credits associated with any given interest rate option.

Advice:

Treasury 10-year note yields touched the highest level in two months amid speculation the Federal Reserve will delete reference to interest rates staying low for a considerable time when it meets this week. The difference between yields on two-year notes and 10-year debt, the yield curve, reached the most since Aug. 1. Theres a 59 percent chance the central bank will increase its benchmark rate by July 2015, versus 51 percent at the end of August, Federal fund futures show. A report today showed manufacturing in the New York region rose more than forecast in September. The market is braced for a hawkish Fed, said Richard McGuire, a fixed-income strategist at Rabobank International in London. This shift is in the price, so the hurdle for the Fed

surprising the market is not insignificant. The yield on Treasury 10-year securities fell two basis points, or 0.02 percentage point, to 2.59 percent as of 8:46 a.m. New York time, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader data. The yield touched 2.62 percent, the highest since July 7 after climbing 15 basis points last week, the biggest five-day increase since the period ended Aug. 16, 2013. The New York Fed Bank of New York index of general business conditions rose to 27.54 from 14.69 in August, and versus an

estimate of 15.95 in a Bloomberg survey..

 

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)

 
The market is still seeing more selling than buying. Today's economic news was mixed, but the treasury market did show a somewhat positive reaction. I would expect the current low of the day to become support and that we will build back toward 102.00, which most likely will provide some meaningful resistance. Until an external factor appears, look for a range of 101.40 to 102.00.
