Today I expect to be cautious/choppy as well but we do start getting some of our news released today with the New Home Sales report as well as the 2yr auction. I am not going to give much weight to the 2yr auction as the time frame is really not a market driver as the long bonds would be (the10y and 30y). However with that said traders will look at it to see if they can glean a direction of the market being bearish or bullish on bonds.
New Home Sales: Actual 323K, Prior 300K (consensus was 300K)
With the New Home Sales numbers being better than expected (but after reading numerous posts on AR I am seeing the same signs of life reflected in these numbers, so not a shocker at all) I think we trade close to where we are today ranging between 100.00 - 100.313. If the 2yr numbers are weak however we could see a sell off and our next logical stopping ground is at the 99.70 mark.
The 10Y is holding similar ground after hitting the 2011 lows of 3.09 Yield it ended at 3.14 Yield.
Lock Advice
If closing in 7-10 days - Lock you have very little to gain and a lot more to lose
If closing in 14+ days - Lock 60% Float very cautiously 40% We could see some rally back towards our highs and beyond but you have to factor the risk versus reward here.
Make it a great day and if you have questions on interest rates, market direction or investment property financing please call or email me.
