Finance Market Note

Mortgage bond prices fell last week pushing mortgage interest rates higher. The Treasury auctions were mixed. The 3YR auction showed weak foreign demand and resulted in a sell off following the results. The 10YR auction was decent and helped keep things in check while the 30YR auction didn’t move the market much. Weekly jobless claims came in at 383k, lower than the expected 410k. That data pressured rates higher.
