Daily Market Report 7/31/20

http://MikesDailyMarketReport.com:  Consumer Spending rose 5.6% in June; while Personal Income dropped 1.1% in June.  The Fed's favorite index that gauges inflation Personal Consumption Expenditure(PCE) without the food and energy being added came in very tame in June, as it only rose 0.2% in Mom; however, it's YoY dropped from 1.0% to 0.9%.  The last thing we want is inflation.  The Employment Cost Index rose 0.5% in Q2.  This is another inflationary data that the Fed likes to watch.  This was fairly tame.  Manufacturing in the Chicago area had good news, as the Chicago PMI came in at 51.9, which brought it back into expanding territory (above 50 in the index).  This was after it came in at 36.6 in June.  Consumer Sentiment dipped a bit in July, as it went from 73.2 in June to 72.5 in July.  Stocks are in Mixed Territory again this morning, as NASDAQ continues to heat up with the large Tech Companies (Apple, Alphabet, Facebook, Amazon, etc..) all posting above expectations on their earnings; while, energy companies, like Chevron and Exxon were hit very hard in Q2 and posting record losses.  President Trump offered to temporarily extend the $600/week benefits while Congress negotiates next Stimulus/Recovery Bill; however, it was rejected by the Democrats in order to use as leverage and get a larger bill passed.  MBS is currently Up 5bps, but Mortgage Rates remain Unchanged this morning from yesterday's close.  Yields fell below their double floor of support yesterday and trying to claw their way back above it.  It resides just above the line at just under 0.55%.

Daily Market Report 7/30/20

http://MikesDailyMarketReport.com: Initial Jobless Claims had another little spike again this week, which it increased from last week's number of 1.42 million people applying for unemployment benefits for first time to 1.43 million in this week's report.  Also, we get an initial look at the GDP for Q2, which went into the record books (not in a good way) at -32.9%; and Q1's GDP was -5.0%.  Stocks are mostly in the Red, but NASDAQ is the lone index in Positive Territory.  Some of the big Tech Stocks will be releasing their Earnings Reports after the bell tonight, which may influence tomorrow's trading.  The rising cases in covid-19 and the bickering between political parties is weighing a bit on the Markets.  Meanwhile, we've been seeing some improvement with Mortgage Rates over the past few days, as MBS is currently Up 13bps this morning.  Yields broke below their floor of support yesterday and are now testing their new floor, and reside just under 0.55%.

Daily Market Report 7/29/20

http://MikesDailyMarketReport.com: The Pending Home Sale Index rose 16.6% in June.  Stocks are Up this morning before the FOMC finishes and Fed Chair Powell announces their decision at 11:30 am PST.  They are not expected to change rates.  Their Announcement may not have much impact with the Market today, as they pretty much said everything they wanted to say prior to the week before the FOMC.  We're still getting Corporate Earnings Reports; and the Heads for the Big Tech Firms will be meeting before a House Committee today.  MBS is Up 14bps, after closing up 30bps yesterday, which you should find better pricing for Mortgage Rates today.  Yields are fighting to remain above it's floor again and sitting at 0.58%.

Daily Market Report 7/28/20

http://MikesDailyMarketReport.com: The Case Shiller HPI showed a slowdown in National Home Prices in May, as it dropped from 4.6% YoY Appreciation in April to 4.5%.  I'm confident this will rise, as we head into summer.  Consumer Confidence dropped from 98.3 in June to 92.6 in July, as several states increase further lockdowns.  Confidence in economy growing was still growing.  Stocks are in Mixed Territory this morning, as the S&P was the lone index in Positive Territory, and it was barely above water.  MBS is Up 16bps, which will lead Lenders to provide better pricing today.  We're in the 103 range on the 2.0 MBS coupon, which hasn't been sustainable.  We'll see if it can stick this time!  Yields have climbed to just under 0.60% and pushing up against it's 50 DMA.

Daily Market Report 7/23/20

http://MikesDailyMarketReport.com: The Initial Jobless Claims for the first time since Feb/March, as last week's report was 1.31 million people applying for first time benefits to this week's report at 1.41 million.  Leading Economic Indicators dropped from 3.2% in May to 2.0% in June.  The rise in Jobless Claims spooked investors, as Stocks go into the Red this morning.  They continue to look at Corporate Earnings Reports, but the next focus is the negotiations for the next round of Stimulus/Recovery package by Congress, as both Republicans and Democrats have a wide gap to bridge.  This next round is expected to be more tenuous and may take longer, as this round of negotiations aren't as dire as previous round.  MBS started the morning much higher, but has settled down a bit; and is currently Up 5bps.  The accumulation of rising MBS over the past few days will lead to better pricing (not so much from yesterday's pricing, but from Monday or last Friday's).   Yields have come down further and sitting just above it's floor of support at 0.58%.

Daily Market Report 7/9/20

http://MikesDailyMarketReport.com: Initial Jobless Claims continues with their downward trend (thankfully!), as this report came in at 1.31 million people applying for first time benefits.  Last week's report came in at 1.41 million.  It's a light day today, so not much news is affecting the Markets.  Stocks are Down this morning, as Investors begin to realize a recovery won't happen fast enough, or a V-shaped recovery.  MBS is taking for granted the Stocks recent struggles, as it's Up 14bps this morning, which will lead Lenders to price their Mortgage Rates even better.  Yields have fallen further, to just under 0.63%.  If you're floating your rate for better rates, then be a bit cautious, as MBS has drifted a bit far from it's 25- and 50 DMA.  When it drifts too far, then it has a habit of being dramatically pulled back, like a leash effect.  Also, Yields are at a position now that has shown some support, so they could revert to higher levels again soon.

Daily Market Report 7/8/20

http://MikesDailyMarketReport.com:  There were no data to report on the Economic Calendar today, but tomorrow will provide us with the Weekly Initial Jobless Claims.  It will be interesting to see if we continue the downward trend.  Stocks started the morning strong (led by Tech stocks), but has since pulled back, as the DOW and S&P dropped into the Red.  Investors are watching the increase of corona virus cases rise and possibility of parts of economy closing again, so they're looking toward Congress for another possible stimulus package.  Also, last night, Bloomberg reported the possibility that the President's top advisors are recommending him to undermine the Hong Kong Dollar, as a retaliation to  China's new security law on Hong Kong.  This could also pose as problem for US' own currency, if this was to be implemented.  MBS is rebounding this morning on the earlier stock rally.  It started down 17bps, but has now pulled to being Down 5bps.  East Coast Lenders most likely rolled out worse pricing and may be sending out price improvements. If this continues, and lenders are comfortable with the pull back, then we'll probably see pricing go back to Unchanged from yesterday's close (improvement for east coast or unchanged for west coast).  Yields have also pulled back from earlier rise, and now reside just under 0.66%.

Daily Market Report 7/7/20

http://MikesDailyMarketReport.com: Job Openings improved in May, as it rose from 5 million in April to 5.4 million in May.  However, that wasn't quite enough to keep stocks in positive territory, as the DOW and S&P have slid into the Red.  Currently, they're trading in Mixed territory.  They were soured, as Investors listen to Fed Member (from Atlanta) Bostic state that the US economy appear to be "leveling off".  The European Commission lowered it's economic forecast again.  And the reality of rising infections of covid-19 cases, which is leading some areas back to closures, have begun to sink in that the US economy may not have the V-shaped recovery, as they hoped.  There are reports that show we may not return to the pre-pandemic numbers until 2022.  On the other hand, this is helping MBS, which is currently Up 20bps.  This will lead to better pricing for Mortgage Rates.  Also, Yields have slid below it's 50 DMA again and currently sit near 0.67%.
