Rate sheets will be a little worse than yesterday, although they should be better than any reprices worse you saw yesterday. Reprice risk on the day is low, we should have a quiet day, but as we saw yesterday there is still always a chance of seeing bonds move more than expected. We should be

WRAP UPUMBS 6.0: 97.94 (-67bps)10yr yield 4.71 Bonds moved much worse today than I would have expected, especially with inflation data coming in as forecast with a decent core number.

WRAP UPUMBS 6.0: 98.91 (+39bps)10yr yield 4.57 Mortgage bonds continue to improve, setting up tomorrow to have better rates.
