  We have a
  big week for economic data..but it wont start until tomorrow. 
   
  MBS are
  moving upward this morning on speculation over the German GDP data due out
  this week.  We only have one economic report this afternoon with our
  U.S. Treasury budget. 
   
  We do not
  have any major U.S. Treasury auctions this week. 
   
  The rest of
  the week is packed with data about inflation levels (PPI and CPI) these are
  most likely going to continue to show very tame inflation levels on a
  month-over-month basis. 
   
  Tuesday's
  Retail Sales report and Friday's Consumer Sentiment Index will be the biggest
  reports of the week. 
   
  Pre-Market
  Status: Neutral/Floating for Monday on an intra-day basis but
  Neutral/Locking for the week.  MBS will trend upward today (better pricing for you). But
  keep an eye on that 50 day moving average as our new resistance level. 
  If we get a strong Retail Sales report on Tuesday, MBS will reverse course
  towards worse pricing so be prepared.
