Market close


MBS   +12/32 @ 100.230      10 Yr T    +3/32 @ 2.0800        DOW  +80 @ 15040

Investors are expecting that tomorrow's Employment report will cause a large reaction in MBS markets due to its influence on future Fed policy, and today they positioned their portfolios based on what they think will happen. The result was another volatile session. MBS were down early in the session following the ECB announcement that rates were held steady and there will be no new stimulus measures. In the middle of the day, however, MBS prices improved ahead of the jobs report. Tomorrow, the Employment report will be released at 8:30 et. The consensus forecast is for an increase of 165K jobs in May.
