Market Close FNMA 30-year 5.50% MBS 100.80 +0 bps
This week will be a relatively quiet one, and quite literally. The Federal Reserve enters its blackout period, meaning Fed officials will not be speaking on monetary policy. With no Fed commentary to guide markets, attention will shift to incoming data.
On the calendar, we’ll get Retail Sales, Pending Home Sales, Jobless Claims, and Consumer Sentiment. While these reports can move markets, there are no Treasury auctions scheduled, removing a recent source of upward pressure on yields.
In short, with less Fed noise and fewer market-moving events, the current trend of lower volatility could continue, keeping the focus on whether rates can build on their recent improvement.
Next Fed meeting (April 29th) is 1.10% chance to lower 0.25%..
New Fed Chair Announced (May) – Kevin Warsh confirmation hearings next week.
