Mortgage Rates: The Impact of The Treasury Auctions
Today's Treasury Announcement is nearly identical to the May 21 ammouncement in terms of offering size, and the instruments are the same, the 2 Yr, 5 Yr, 7 Yr notes.
The impact from the May 21 Announcement to the end of the auction on May 28, was a 318 bp decline in the FNM 4.5% Bond. The impact from the June 4 Announcement to the end of the auction on June 11, was a 350 bp decline in the FNM 4.5% Bond.
As I write this, the Fannie Mae 4.5% Bond is trading at 98.28 -110 bps from yesterday's close.
