Market Comment
Mortgage Bonds continue to drift lower after topping out recently on December 8th.
Pressuring Bonds lower this morning was a better than expected Retail Sales Report for November, marking the third monthly increase over the past four months. Consumer Sentiment was also reported quite a bit better than expectations.
Currently, Bond prices are approaching an important dual-layer of support at the 100- and 200-Day Moving Averages. I recommend floating for now to give Bonds a chance to improve. But be prepared to lock if prices resume their downward trend.
