Mortgage Rates Move Back to Long-Term Lows

Very Calm Reaction But Not Too Surprising One could argue that CPI is the next biggest potential market mover after the jobs report. With that in mind, it might seem surprising that MBS are heading out the door roughly unchanged and 10yr yields are down less than 3bps. It becomes less surprising when we consider inflation was mostly in line with expectations. Elevated unrounded core numbers were offset by decent drop in supercore (services excluding energy and shelter). When it comes to this morning's initial rally, we'd give more credit to supercore than we would to the pop in Jobless Claims, but both probably played a role. Either way, all today's CPI really needed to do was stay out of the way of rate cut signals in the last jobs report, and it generally did.

Most of them were in line with expectations, or close enough to avoid surprising investors. The absence of surprise gave way to some improvement in bonds which, in turn, allowed mortgage lenders to start the day at just slightly lower levels.  Additionally, a higher reading in this morning's weekly jobless claims report may have helped. ...

Additionally, monthly headline inflation was 0.4 vs 0.3. These numbers, in and of themselves, wo...
