Market Comment

Mortgage Bonds started the day higher, adding to yesterday's gains, and then received an additional boost on a very weak Consumer Confidence report.

The Case Shiller Index revealed that home prices in July rose 0.6% and have moved up 3.2% from July of 2009. Although the pace of the gain was slower than the 4.2% increase seen in June, it's still is a positive, and an encouraging sign.

For now, I will continue to recommend a Floating bias, as bonds are being bought up on the possibility of more Quantitative Easing.
