MBS Live Recap: Bonds Sell Off, But MBS Outperform
Bonds Sell-Off, But MBS Outperform
The week began decently enough with bonds holding most of last week's gains during the first 90 minutes today. Things began to go south after the 9:30AM NYSE open as bond yields followed stocks higher. 10yr yields rose roughly 8bps by the 3pm CME close to hit 1.43+. In terms of price, that's a loss of roughly 3/4ths of a point. Contrast that to MBS losses at the same time of only an eighth of a point and the outperformance becomes very clear.
