Good morning and happy hump day. We finally have some news to analyze this morning, as we got Mortgage Applications for the week ending Aug. 5 at 6:00 central time. It’s coming off a +1.2% for the prior week and came in positive again today at +0.2%. In other news, builders are facing a glut of unsold homes after several years of no supply. Watch for a decline in home prices going forward.

Bonds today are up in price after this morning’s flat CPI number. 10yr T-Notes are +20/32 to yield 2.70%. In MBS land FNMA 30yr 4.50% are +16/32 to $101-14, which is a 4.07% yield and +117 basis points to the 4.4yr treasury curve. Have a great day and call or email your MBS and whole loan inquiries.
