Rate Volatility

Today's Rate Volatility: HIGH

What happened yesterday?
Mortgage backed securities (MBS) lost -68 basis points from Friday and closed at their worst levels of 2013 which means that you saw your highest rates of 2013.

MBS started the day selling off (worse pricing for you) as speculation among bond traders that the Fed would begin tapering their monthly MBS purchases on Sept 18th continued to mount. 

There were no economic release or Treasury auctions.

Once again, the stock market and bond market moved in the same direction (both sold off).
