MBS   +25/32 @ 101.15     10 Yr T  +16/32 @ 2.4750   DOW  +114@ 15024

 

Comments from the Fed's Dudley lifted MBS today. Dudley, along with several other Fed officials this week, reminded investors that tapering the Fed's bond buying program does not mean that the Fed plans to tighten monetary policy in other ways any time soon. Specifically, Dudley suggested that it will be a long time before the Fed will raise the fed funds rate and repeated that the 6.5% Unemployment Rate target is merely a guideline rather than an automatic trigger to raise rates. Stronger than average demand for the 7-yr Treasury auction also helped MBS markets today. The economic data had little impact. May Pending Home Sales increased 7% from April to the highest level since December 2006. Tomorrow, Chicago PMI and Consumer Sentiment will be released.
