Mortgage Bond Market Analysis - TGIF edition

Good morning and happy Friday.  The benchmark bond has shrugged off the early morning propensity to sell which was driven by better-than-expected economic data.  Investors are pushing bond prices higher, albeit slightly.  It is currently up 6 basis points and is hovering above both the 1st level of resistance as well as the 10 day moving average.  Closing above these levels might indicate a possibility of some follow through on Monday; of course we had a nice Friday last week and did an about face on Monday so sometimes momentum works and sometimes it doesn't.  Here's the chart:




It's a good time to lock if you have a loan closing soon but if you have some time, I wouldn't be afraid to float heading into Monday.  If you do float, make sure you stay on top of the market so that you can lock quickly if it turns against you.
