This afternoon a big supply of Bonds will hit the market at 1pm ET, when the Treasury will auctions off $40B in 2-year T-Notes. This could put some downward pressure on Mortgage Bonds as this additional supply will need to be soaked up by the market. It’s the old supply and demand rule.
The Fed begins its two day meeting this morning with the big interest rate decision and policy statement coming tomorrow. The world will be listening and holding on to every word when the statement is released tomorrow. Will we hear the deflation or inflation word? It could be a market mover.
