More positive movement in the MBS market. We should see lower cost per rate this morning. I would cautiously float your lock this morning to see where rates go.

Happy Friday campers! Not much movement in the MBS market this morning (-1bp). It's a good time to lock if you have an imminent purchase or refinance.

Friday’s bond market has opened in negative territory, appearing to close out the year with a slight increase in mortgage pricing. Stocks are calm with the Dow up 16 points and the Nasdaq up 1 point. The bond market is currently down 9/32 (3.87%), which should push this morning’s mortgage rates approximately .125 of a discount point higher than Thursday’s early pricing.
Yesterday’s 7-year Treasury Note auction did not go as well as Wednesday’s 5-year Note sale. The benchmarks we use to gauge investor demand indicated a fairly weak interest in the securities. Bonds extended their morning losses slightly following the results announcement at 1:00 PM ET. However, it was not enough of a move to cause many lenders to issue revised pricing, meaning that move is being reflected in this morning’s rates.
Next week brings us a handful of relevant economic reports, including the “new month” releases that are considered highly important, such as the ISM manufacturing index and the Employment report. Activities start Wednesday, meaning there is plenty scheduled over just three days. Look for details on all of next week’s calendar in Sunday evening’s weekly preview.
If I were considering financing/refinancing a home, I would.... Lock if my closing was taking place within 7 days... Lock if my closing was taking place between 8 and 20 days... Lock if my closing was taking place between 21 and 60 days... Float if my closing was taking place over 60 days from now...

Tuesday's rate lock advisory:
Tuesday’s bond market is starting the new year in negative territory, erasing Friday’s gains. Stocks are also showing early losses, pushing the Dow lower by 8 points and the Nasdaq down 199 points. The bond market is currently down 17/32 (3.92%), which should bring mortgage rates back to Friday morning’s levels. If you saw an intraday improvement in rates before Friday’s early closing, you should see an increase in this morning’s pricing if the same size. The financial and mortgage markets were closed yesterday for the New Year’s Day holiday.
There is nothing of importance scheduled for release today, the only day of this shortened week without at least one item to drive the markets. The rest of the week will be quite busy with five monthly economic reports coming and the minutes from last month’s FOMC meeting. A couple of the week’s releases are considered to be highly influential to mortgage rates.
If I were considering financing/refinancing a home, I would.... Lock if my closing was taking place within 7 days... Lock if my closing was taking place between 8 and 20 days... Lock if my closing was taking place between 21 and 60 days... Float if my closing was taking place over 60 days from now...
Wednesday’s bond market has opened in negative territory, partly due to stronger economic news. Stocks are also showing early losses with the Dow down 162 points and the Nasdaq down 90 points. The bond market is currently down 7/32 (3.06%), which should push this morning’s mortgage rates higher by approximately .250 of a discount point.
Lock now for any transaction closing in 45 days or less.
