Market Update as of 1:17 pm (EST) - Prices improving and into green this afternoon.
30 Year FNMA MBS Coupons
FNMA 4.5 99-02 +0-05
FNMA 5.0 101-10 +0-05
FNMA 5.5 102-27 +0-07

GNMA 4.5 99-07 +0-06
GNMA 5.0 101-16 +0-05
GNMA 5.5 103-02 +0-06
The Bottom Line - I know some analyst are predicting to lock for 21 days with slight movement into red this morning, however I feel prices will move into green this afternoon...just my gut feel.
