9/9/11 Print

Bond prices ended the days at their session highs amidst volatile equity markets.  After bouncing around for most of the sessions, the 10-year closed to yield 1.98%.  Maturities 5 years and longer had the best performance, which runs counter to recent experience, where the 5-year has been unable to gain much traction.  The MBS coupon curve continued to respond to rumors and speculation of a major enforced refi effort coming from Washington, although no specifics were contained in Obama's speech last night.  The 30--year Freddie Mac survey rate posted a new all-time low of 4.12% last week.
