The good times are still mostly rolling in despite the token correction on Friday. Bonds sold off on Friday, with the easiest scapegoat being the very strong Consumer Confidence number (72.6 vs. 65.5 FQST). 10yr yields remained below yesterday’s highs, and although MBS prices were lower than they were yesterday, they outperformed Treasuries earlier in the week. In short, most of the gains for the week remained the same. In fact, given that it was a summer Friday with very strong data after 4 consecutive days of gains that pushed bonds into overbought territory in the short term, one would consider a 6 basis point rally to 10 year yields and a loss of 3/8 of a point. in MBS. To be a victory of some kind.
