More on the market off today


MBS  -10/32 @ 100.13         10 Yr Treasury  -15/32 @ 2.1340           +180@ 15221

 

Today's Employment data was right in line with expectations, but MBS moved significantly lower after the results. Against a consensus forecast of 165K, the economy added 175K jobs in May. There were slight downward revisions to the figures from prior months. The Unemployment Rate unexpectedly increased to 7.6% from 7.5%, but this was entirely due to additional people entering the labor force. As a reminder, the Unemployment Rate measures the percentage of people who want to work but are unable to find a job. If the number of jobs holds steady, and more people decide that they want to work, the Unemployment Rate goes up. Average Hourly Earnings, a proxy for wage growth, was unchanged from last month, below the consensus for an increase of 0.2%. In short, investors were positioned for weaker data. When the results came in right on target, MBS gave back yesterday's gains. No more economic data will be released today.
