Mortgage Market Update for June 16,2008

Mortgage backed securities are trading flat on the day down just 3bps this morning. Bonds have been in a downward trend for the last 2 weeks and rates have crept up .75% higher nearing 7.00%.

The recent pressure on bonds are due to the pressure the heightened inflation concerns of the market. The Fed meets next week and bonds traders are looking for short-term rates to be increased which will be great for long-term bond rates....however don't expect much more than shift in the policy statement.

Floating for now....
