Rate sheets this morning should be similar to yesterday as bonds gain back lost ground from earlier this morning. Reprice risk on the day is moderate, we could see more volatility and if bonds do lose ground lenders may be quick to consider repricing worse. The outlook remains that rates are close to peaking, but

WRAP UPUMBS 5.5: 98.00 (-36bps)10yr yield: 4.20 Mortgage bonds improved through the afternoon, only to give back all the gains. Lenders that repriced better may reprice worse again before day’s end. Rates look likely to creep higher from here, reaching 2023 highs and maybe matching the worst rates we saw last October. They will fall

Rate sheets are going to be much worse today than yesterday’s AM pricing, and worse than any reprices you saw yesterday as bonds continue to tank.

WRAP UPUMBS 5.5: 98.50 (-58bps)10yr yield: 4.11 What should have been a quiet day got out of hand quick, with lots of lenders repricing worse (and some twice) Great example today of bond selling triggering more selling… and it wasn’t due to the CPI data, or really much else to point a finger at.

WRAP UPUMBS 5.5: 99.08 (+11bps)10yr yield: 4.01CPI data at 8:30am ET tomorrow. Markets expect higher number than June, so unless MUCH higher I don’t think way we will see too much of a negative response but there is definitely a possibility. If shelter costs and core CPI show more improvement than expected we could see

WRAP UPUMBS 5.5: 98.73 (-16bps)10yr yield: 4.03 Mtg bonds bouncing around through the day, but not enough to see lenders reprice worse. Not a lot of risk floating into tomorrow.

WRAP UP UMBS 5.5: 98.89 (-18bps) 10yr yield: 4.10 Quiet day, not a lot of risk floating into tomorrow although pricing could slip a little bit. Rates sheets this morning should be better than Friday’s AM rate sheets but likely worse than any reprices better, at least to start the day. Bonds woke up to
