Market Close


MBS  +19/32  @ 101.30      10 Yr T  +19/32  @ 2.5930          DOW  -2 @ 15,371

 

The upward momentum in MBS markets seen yesterday following the news of the debt deal continued today. Investors were more comfortable purchasing MBS and Treasuries now that the threat of default has been removed in the short-term. In addition, the extension in the debt ceiling and government funding for just several months made investors think that the Fed is unlikely to begin to taper its bond purchases until January at the earliest. Today's data had little impact. The Philly Fed index declined to 19.8, above the consensus of 15.0. Tomorrow, Leading Indicators is scheduled for 10:00 et.
