Conventional and Government (FHA and VA) lenders set their rates based on the pricing of Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) which are traded in real time, all day in the bond market. This means rates or loan fees (mortgage pricing) moves throughout the day, being affected by a variety of economic or political events. When MBS pricing goes up, mortgage rates or pricing generally goes down. When they fall, mortgage pricing goes up.
Mortgage rates are under mild pressure today. The MBS market improved by +17 bps yesterday. This was not enough to decrease mortgage rates or fees. The market experienced low volatility yesterday.
Jobs: Initial Weekly Jobless Claims were 218K versus estimates of 210K. The more closely watched 4 week moving average dropped to 212K. Continuing Claims were 1.875M versus estimates of 1.875M.
Housing: We will get the November Pending Home Sales Index at 10 pm ET. Estimates are for a net change of 1.0%.
Treasury Auction: We have a 7 year note auction today at 1 pm.
This morning markets are under mild pressure. Volatility has started at moderate levels but will likely decrease.
