MBS ALERT: Following The 3 Year Auction, MBS Move Back To Lows

In the few short minutes after the $40 3yr note auction, MBS have moved sharply into their lows of the day.  Reprices for the worse are very possible  even though post-auction trading is normally quite volatile.  As far as the culprit, here are the relevant bullets on the auction.

• High yield of 1.223 % constituted an uncommon and somewhat significant tail vs. historical performance.  Just over half the bids were taken at the high yield
• Bid to cover 2.98.  Seems high, but last go-round was over 3.0, so don't read too much into it.
• Primary dealers took 14.41 bln and indirects at 24.25 bln

We'd post links to lock section of all your lender's LOS's, but gotta draw the line somewhere.  Shorter term deal and can't afford to hold out for a late day correction or the rest of the auction cycle in the coming days?  You know what to do!
