WRAP UPUMBS 6.0: 97.84 (+37bps)10yr yield: 4.74 Alls well that ends well? Some late day repricing better, however, still nothing to get too excited about. Rates may drift a little bit lower from here, but it won’t be much, advice remains to lock in, despite potential for possible improvement tomorrow. Tomorrow we get jobless claims

Rates continuing to creep higher (as expected) with no clear end in sight. I can’t make this any clearer than I have recently – give up all hope of rates falling from here. Reprice risk on the day is moderate, although bonds have improved from the worst levels, we could see them turn tail and

Rate sheets will be much worse than Friday AM, as bonds continue to fall after a short lived mini rally. Reprice risk on the day is moderate, despite an already weak start we could see bonds continue to worsen which would put lenders in a position to reprice worse. Although it could be argued that

WRAP UPUMBS 6.0: 98.70 (+30bps)10yr yield: 4.58 Bonds had a strong recovery today on some dovish Fed member comments and weak consumer spending data, mainly a correction from being over sold. This is not a reversal, and if you saw reprices better today you should take them, it’s not likely gains continue much tomorrow. After

  The Federal Reserve didn’t raise interest rates recently but is thinking about doing it in December, possibly with fewer rate cuts next year. Interest rates, including mortgages, are going up, and this might continue for a while. It’s important to have a financial plan to adapt to these changes. US debt is a concern,

Rates will continue to test the high water mark, and reprice risk today is low. The outlook is that rates will hold near the highs or even creep higher, with zero chance that we see a significant drop in rates anytime soon (“significant”, to me,  means .25% or more). Treasury yields continue to climb, and

Rate sheets this morning likely to be similar or slightly better than yesterday, and reprice risk on the day is moderate. Bonds showing some signs of recovery this morning, but nothing to get too excited about. Rates have quickly moved up to match this years highest levels already after the Fed meeting, but I think
