What Happened Yesterday...

What happened yesterday?
The benchmark FNMA 3.5% August coupon lost -11BPS from Friday's close.

We had a fairly quiet day...perhaps the "calm before the storm" this week.

Pending Home Sales were better than expected (-0.4% vs -1.0%) and this is during the period where mortgage rates where near their highest of 2013.  But MBS were not materially impacted by this report.

From a technical perspective, MBS traded in a very tight range that was only 24BPS wide from our highs to our lows.  Once again appetite for MBS decreased at the top of our trading channel which is our ceiling of resistance.
