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.
