| 08:05 EDT | | | U.S. MBA mortgage market index sank 3.3%
U.S. MBA mortgage market index sank 3.3% in data released earlier, in addition to a 3.0% slide in the purchase index and a 3.4% drop in the refinancing index for the Jun-14 week. Mortgage rates continued to back higher as market yields priced in risk the Fed could tip its hand on winding down QE today following rounds of contradictory Fedspeak and media speculation. The average 30-year fixed rate edged up 2 basis points to 4.17%, according to the MBA, while Zillow.com shows the national average near 3.83% including points and fees. Beginning to normalize policy prematurely by the Fed risks harming the still fragile recovery, though policy will still be highly stimulative even with the start of a QE windown.

| 07:25 EDT | | | Treasury Market Outlook: Treasuries are little changed
Treasury Market Outlook: Treasuries are little changed, though there is a mild bid in the market. Trading volume was predictably light ahead of the FOMC announcement (14:00 ET). The 10-year yield ranged narrowly around 2.17%. The 2-year yield is at 0.26%. Core bonds overseas are slightly higher with Bunds outperforming. Equities are mixed with European bourses mostly lower, with the exception of the DAX, while Japan's Nikkei posted a 1.8% advance in contrast to losses around the region. There wasn't much data. Japan showed an encouraging 10.1% y/y rise in eqports. BoE minutes showed a 6-3 vote to refrain from more QE. The U.S. calendar is thin with just the MBA mortgage applications report, which showed a 3.3% decline for the week ended June 14. The only other items on the slate are oil inventories. There is no Fed buyback today. |
