Compared to yesterday's closing, the market has opened within 0.125 to the Points/Credits associated with any given interest rate option.

Advice:
Wholesale prices in the U.S. rose in May as the biggest jump in fuel costs in at least five years swamped muted advances in other categories. The 0.5 percent increase in the producer-price index followed a 0.4 percent decline the prior month, Labor Department figures showed Friday in Washington. The median forecast of 72 economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for a 0.4 percent advance. Costs dropped 1.1 percent over the past 12 months. Wholesale-cost gains in two of the past three months may eventually filter through to consumers, helping reassure Federal Reserve policy makers that inflation is progressing toward their target as they consider raising interest rates. At the same time, the fallout from a stronger dollar and slower growth
overseas means pipeline price pressures are unlikely to surge. Inflation will creep higher over the summer, Thomas Costerg, a senior economist at Standard Chartered Bank in New York, said before the report. Energy prices are actually picking up. Commodity costs have generally stabilized. Projections in the Bloomberg survey ranged from a drop of 0.1 percent to an advance of 0.7 percent. Food prices increased 0.8 percent in May, the report showed. Energy expenses climbed 5.9 percent, the biggest gain in data going back to December 2009. That accounted for about 80 percent of the total increase in producer prices, the Labor Department said. Crude oil costs have shown signs of stabilizing after a plunge to a six-year low of about $43 in mid-March. West Texas Intermediate for July delivery was at $60.77 a barrel at the close on Thursday on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Thats still well below last years high of $107.26.

My position on MBS:

Short term Stays Short.
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)

 
Nice rally yesterday and so far this morning I am liking the tone of the market. Greece is getting scary again and I can see how easily that situation can fall apart. PPI (the core number) came out as expected, which is good, given the number was a very low increase of .01. As much as I would like to say this rally constitutes a trend reversal...I cant say that yet. So..I would take this opportunity to lock! We need a couple more days of higher highs and higher lows to confirm a reversal. That said, a closing above 99.50 will be bullish. This market is still dislocated from any traditional measurement system...so my opinions continue to come with little confidence.
