READ MORERate sheets this morning likely to be in line with yesterday, as both those that locked and those that floated win this morning… since there is basically no change. Reprice risk on the day is low, we may see bonds drift higher as traders park money in bonds for what is historically the last hurrah
READ MORERate sheets this morning likely to be a bit worse than yesterday, and loans are facing a decision of whether to lock or float ahead of tomorrow’s jobs data. Reprice risk today is low, not much to worry about. The outlook today is much brighter than a week ago, with the door open to see

READ MORERate sheets will come out reflecting whatever take the market has on Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech from Jackson Hole today at 10:05am ET. The initial start to the day sees mortgage bonds a bit on the weaker side, and if pricing came out right now it would be slightly worse than yesterday. However, there

What I mean is that mortgage bonds improved to levels last seen 8/14, when rates were .375 to .25% better. However, most rate sheets improved about .125%, some a little more. That’s
