MBS OPEN: Tsy Rally Extends, MBS Catching A Little Love As Spreads Continue To Widen...

By: Matthew Graham

Friday's Recap

- Tsy's and MBS rallied fairly well, but gave most of it back by day's end.

- Bullish Consumer Sentiment

- 10 yr touched the 3.4's before selling.  5.0 FNMA MBS were back near 102-00

- quarter end remains a big variable for flows, ostensibly pushing the tsy bid vs. MBS.

The AM So Far...

- 10yr Tsy pushed back into 3.4's.  3.4's pushed back. 

- MBS up, but again, Tsy's leading the charge into quarter end. 

- quarter end remains a big variable for flows, ostensibly pushing the tsy bid vs. MBS. (echo?)

- Wary about selling early this week, hoping for positivity to pick up as week progresses. 

- Keep fingers on triggers for short term deals
