Mortgage backed securities (MBS) prices are lower (rates higher) after release of March Employment figures as traders refocus on the record amount of government debt needed to be sold to end the recession; FNMA 4.0$ coupon 100.19bps, -11bps. The economy lost 663K workers in March bringing the total losses since December 2007 to near 5.1 million. The Unemployment rate climbed to 8.5%, the highest level in 25 years, threatening to keep spending subdued for months and delay any recovery. The job cuts have been spreading from manufactures to service providers and employers are also cutting back on hours. Average work week shrank to a record 33.2 hours in March. ISM non-Mfg index fell to 40.8, more than expected, pointing to a deepening contraction. New orders, employment and prices paid components all fell indicating slowing business conditions ahead. On a positive note, no primary dealers submited bids to tap the Fed's Term Securities Lending Facility (TSLF)to help firms meet short-term funding needs indicating more optimism regarding ways to finance holdings of less liquid assets like MBS. TGIF!

Since I got fooled today on a ridiculous loan prank I have changed my profile photo to reflect what a sucker I am!
Apparently this guy was so tired he forgot to change his work uniform while engaged in an illegal drug deal. We all know that this might be grounds for losing you job...especially when you are a police officer!
I wonder how many arrests he made for this offense? Way to go Joe! Read more:

Mortgage backed securities (MBS) prices gain (rates fall) as stocks globally are lower (DOW down 100) and the Fed prepares to buy notes for a second time this week to hold down borrowing costs; FNMA 4.5% coupon 102.06bps, up 17bps and the high of the session. Personal Income slipped 0.2% in February while Consumer Spending slowed to a 0.2% rise. Firming oil prices did damage to overall inflation, the price gauge tied to spending patterns rose 1.0%. Today's report offers a picture of an economy that remains in recession, while the pace of contraction has eased the consumer is losing ground. Consumer Sentiment edged 0.3% higher to a still severely low level of 56.6 in March. Expectations did rise 2.5% to 53 indicating the pessimism isn't getting worse but the current conditions component fell 3% to 62.3 a reflection of ongoing contraction in the labor market. Rates should improve today as most lenders resisted passing through yesterday's late afternoon gains. As always on a Friday, be watchful of an afternoon sell-off; consider locking off morning pricing.
