MBS UPDATE: Volatility and Resistance (updated 2:15pm)

By: Matthew Graham

Every now and then the old crystal ball comes through in a pinch, but broken clocks are right twice a day they say...  check the original post at the bottom and observe the results in this top chart.  Spooky, eh?  Now officially not concerned about any lenders repricing for worse...

-----------------

Some traditional post auction volatility has entered the scene.  As stocks have continued to move higher and profits have been taken, we've seen a retracement in bonds.  At this point, it appears to be technical in nature and thus not a major cause for concern.  Pretty much, the only people that need this update are those who got a reprice for the better after the auction and want to avoid a potential reprice for the worse.  All others: no reprice for the worse should arise from this selling.  Furthermore, the internal trendline at 3.65-3.66 (aka 3.65+) looks very pertinent for the rest of the day.  Wouldn't be surprised to see a bounce...  So again, this post is ONLY for folks that saw a reprice for the better following the auction, and I know most did not.  FURTHERMORE, if you DO get a reprice for the better AFTER 2pm, it's likely this selling will have been baked in to that.
