Key Economic News:
Unemployment Drops
Employment climbed more than forecast in January and the jobless rate unexpectedly fell to the lowest in three years, casting doubt on the Federal Reserve’s pledge to keep interest rates low until late 2014.
Non-Farm payrolls for Jan. Actual: 243k, Consensus: 150k, Last: 200k.
Unemployment Rate for Jan. Actual: 8.3%, Consensus: 8.5%, Last: 8.5%.
Average earnings for Jan: Actual +0.2%, Consensus: +0.2%, Last: +0.2%.
Factory Orders
Goods. Consensus: 1.5%, Last: 1.8%.
Advice:
With unemployment coming in better than expected. Factory orders are expected to be off from last month, and Europe seeming to start to come to some type of solution. After the drop this morning I would expect the market to stay on the weaker side thru the day.
My position on MBS changes to neutral (buy back long position).
