Mortgage bond prices opened slightly higher Monday

Mortgage bond prices opened slightly higher Monday morning erasing some of the losses seen Friday afternoon. Rates are finding mild support in thin trade from weak stock futures.

With no economic news set for release today traders are waiting for stocks to begin trade to help gauge interest rate direction. The equity markets open at 9:30 am ET.

This week is packed with important events that will move prices of both bonds and stocks. Central Banks in the US, England and Europe all meet this week. Markets continue to price in additional easing as the global economic outlook darkens. Prepare yourself and your borrowers for what could be a wild ride.
