Lack Of Conviction Evolves Into "Complete Absence"
Posted To: MBS Commentary4.5's UNCHANGED at 100-07+ 10yr Note UNCHANGED at 3.801 Stocks moderately better, but futures ticking up noticeably on Apple earnings. Does it change the outlook for tomorrow? Maybe... Caveats to follow... Today was pretty brutal in that "sideways" kind of way where the charts don't really say much. In fact, they just say "NO TREND."

You could jump-start the housing market! The housing market is "hanging in there", at least based on applications taken last week. Mortgage applications in the U.S. rose by the most in seven weeks , up 13.6%, which analysts attributed to the approaching end of the homebuyer tax credit. The MBAA's index of purchases climbed 10.1%, and refinancing shot up 15.8%, the first gain since the end of February. The earnings train continues to roll . SunTrust reported a much smaller first-quarter net loss and beat analysts' expectations as its loan problems showed early signs of stabilizing. Its net loss...(read more)Forward this article via email:  Send a copy of this story to someone you know that may want to read it. read more
