Bond Market News for today
Mortgage Bonds are trading lower today, after a string of better than expected economic news moved Stocks higher at the expense of
Bonds.
New Home sales for June were reported at 530,000--which was far better than expectations of
505,000. In addition, Orders for Durable Goods came in well above expectations and the Consumer
Sentiment Index shocked the markets with a very robust reading.
The positive readings are helping to strengthen the US Dollar and even lower Oil prices. As a result
of these shifts, a Fed rate hike may be on its w ay in within the next few months--though probably
not at next week’s Fed meeting.
Currently, Bonds have moved to their worst levels of the day. Therefore, I recommend locking
before prices dip even lower.
