MBS Live: MBS Afternoon Market Summary
Today was one of those characteristically "slow Mondays" in the way only Mondays can be. It didn't help that Japan was out on Holiday (our turn next Monday 11/11/13). This kept much of what already would have been a slow overnight session completely grounded until European trading hours. Treasuries rallied modestly into the domestic session and proceeded to hold an extraordinarily narrow range around 2.60.
10's hit 2.589 around 10:42am and then set about trending gently higher to 2.602 by 3pm. MBS outpeformed during that time with 3.5's holding their ground near the best levels of the day. Economic data didn't have much of an impact, but tomorrow's ISM Non-Manufacturing data is a much bigger potential market mover than today's Factory Orders.

Afternoon Reprice Alerts and Updates
Below is a recap of instant Reprice Alerts and updates issued via email and text alert to MBS Live subscribers this afternoon.
3:28PM :
MBS Drifting Sideways in Good Shape
MBS have been outperforming Treasuries fairly steadily all day, but most noticeably since 10:42am when 10yr yields bottomed out and moved gradually higher. During that same time, MBS have simply held sideways in a fairly narrow range between 102-06 and 102-10 in Fannie 3.5s.
The stability and moderate positivity were enough for a few lenders to offer positive reprices earlier, but that's they're the exception.
