| Big Market Reaction but Mortgages Outperform Today"s jobs report would have been bad for rates if it was even in line with expectations.

We find ourselves in the traditional “dog days of summer” which refer to the hottest and most uncomfortable days typically occurring from July 3 to August 11 in the Northern Hemisphere. Did someone say “dog”? Thank you to David I. who sent a...Read More | ||

| Jobs Report Comes in Stronger. Bonds React Logically | ||
| 7/3/2025 9:23 AM | ||
| Apart from the fact that this morning"s jobs report contrasted starkly from the slew of anecdotal evidence suggesting a weaker labor market in June, the morning has proceeded almost exactly as expected. We assumed that even an on-target result was worth a bit of bond market weakness given the apparent "lead-off" induced by preceding data. The moder...Read More | ||

| Bonds Circle The Wagons Ahead of High Risk NFP The consensus for tomorrow"s NFP (nonfarm payrolls, the principal component of the big jobs report) is 110k--not much of a downgrade from last month"s 139k. The bond market has recently been trading as if it expects to see an even lower number--a fact tha...Read More | ||
| Rates Finally Rise Ahead of Jobs Report | ||
| 7/2/2025 1:53 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates have generally been falling since May 21st and have done nothing but move lower for more than 2 weeks. That winning streak finally came to an end today with the average lender moving up 0.06% for a top tier 30yr fixed quote. While that"s a moderately big jump for a single day, if we remove the past 4 days from the equation, to...Read More | ||

| Bonds Think About Rallying on ADP Data, But Already Getting Cold Feet | ||
| 7/2/2025 8:54 AM | ||
| ADP employment was this morning"s key economic report and it came out sharply weaker than expected (-33k vs 95k f"cast). There are many past examples of a "miss" of this size prompting a swift rally on the bond market. Although that looked like it could have been in the works in the first few minutes, bonds have since reversed course and move...Read More | ||

| Traders Buy The Dip After AM Data After a bit of overnight strength and an early morning pull-back, bonds were right in line with yesterday afternoon"s levels ahead of the 10am data.
