http://MikesDailyMarketReport.com: Existing Home Sales dropped 7.2% in February to 6.02 million seasonally adjusted units. But, Leading Indicator Index rebounded in February to 0.3%, after a bit of a contraction (-0.5%) in January. Investors continue to monitor the Ukraine/Russia situation, as it's being reported that Russia was bombing Lviv, which is a city near the Poland border. Meanwhile, a few Fed Members, Waller and Bullard, both indicated that they'd like to see at least a 0.5% rate hike at one of the meetings, and possibly multiple times this year. Waller would like to see the Fed Funds Rates at or above 2-2.25% and Bullard would like it at 3.0% by year end. MBS was Up (+25bps) for a bit this morning and many Lenders repriced for the better; however, over the past 40 minutes, those gains have dwindled down to +8bps. If this persists, then you may see Lenders reprice for the worse. Pricing will look more like yesterday's close, or Unchanged. Yields took a step lower today, and currently around 2.15%.
