Perfect Storm Leaves Rate Range Perfectly Intact

Perfect Storm Leaves Rate Range Perfectly Intact Coming into the week, yields were near the top of a narrow range (3.4-3.56 give or take).  With both ISM reports, the jobs report, and policy announcements from the Fed/ECB/BOE, it was a distinct possibility that we'd see that range broken.  By Thursday morning, that looked like it was a work in progress, but by the end of the day, yields were back to 3.40.  Then in a cruel twist of fate this morning, NFP beat forecasts by the widest margin in a year and half.  90 minutes later, ISM crushed its forecasts as well.  These events combined to push yields right up to the top of the range, leaving us to hurry up and wait for the next set of potential market movers. Econ Data / Events NFP 517k vs 185k f'cast, 260k prev unemployment 3.4 vs 3.6 f'cast, 3.5 prev earnings 0.3 vs 0.3 f'cast, 0.4 prev ISM Non Manufacturing  55.2 vs 50.4 f'cast, 49.2 prev Market Movement Recap 09:29 AM Heavy selling after massive NFP number.  Perhaps finding footing now.  10yr yield up 11.2bps at 3.514.  MBS down 3/8ths of a point in 5.0 coupons, and half a point in 4.5s. 10:05 AM More losses after ISM data.  10yr up 15bps at 3.552.  MBS down 5/8ths of a point. 01:43 PM 10am marked the weakest levels and bonds have erased about half of the post-ISM losses.  MBS trading flat with 5.0 coupons down just under half a point.  10yr up 11.5bps on the day at 3.517.

Will a Silver Tsunami Change the 2024 Housing Market? Have you ever heard the term “Silver Tsunami” and wondered what it's all about? If so, that might be because there’s been lot of talk about it online recently. Let's dive into what it is and why it won't drastically impact the housing market. What Does Silver Tsunami Mean? A recent article from HousingWire calls it: “. . . a colloquialism referring to aging Americans changing their housing arrangements to accommodate aging . . .” The thought is that as baby boomers grow older, a significant number will start downsizing their homes. Considering how large that generation is, if these moves happened in a big wave, it would affect the housing market by causing a significant uptick in the number of larger homes for sale. That influx of homes coming onto the market would impact the balance of supply and demand and more. The concept makes sense in theory, but will it happen? And if so, when? Why It Won’t Have a Huge Impact on the Housing Market in 2024 Experts say, so far, a silver tsunami hasn’t happened – and it probably won't anytime soon. According to that same article from HousingWire: “. . . the silver tsunami’s transformative potential for the U.S. housing market has not yet materialized in any meaningful way, and few expect it to anytime soon.” Clearly, not every baby boomer is planning to sell or move – and even those who do won’t do it all at once. Instead, it will be more gradual, happening slowly over time. If you’re worried about a Silver Tsunami shaking up the housing market, don’t be. Any impact from baby boomers moving will be gradual over many years. Fleming sums it up best: “Demographic trends, they don't tsunami. They trickle.” #realestate #homeownership #homebuying www.DanFreshley.com
