WHILE 10 YEARS ARE NOW TO 2.8..UP 1 1/8 POINTS, LONG BONDS ARE ON FIRE UP 3 1/8 POINTS..YIELDS DO NOT MATTER.. THE LONG BOND IS THRU ANY HIGH WE CAN REMEMBER AND WE HAVE SEARCHED BACK TO EISENHOWER YEARS... IT IS A NEW BALL GAME.. WHILE STOCKS ARE UNDER PRESSURE, IT IS STILL NOT A FLIGHT TO QUALITY TRADE AS SWAPS AND THE YIELD CURVE CONTINUE TO FLATTEN.. THE FREIGHT TRAIN IS MOVING AND NO ONE WANTS TO GET IN ITS WAY...DEFLATION AND CONVEXITY ARE TODAYS WORDS
LONG TREASURIES ARE ON A MISSION.
WITH 30 RATE MORTGAGES NOW AT 5.5.\, WITH THE CHANCE TO REACH 5% OR LOWER, THE HOUSING MARKET MIGHT ACTUALLY COME ALIVE...
