June 28, 2022 Headlines

The Treasury curve is higher and steeper this morning, with the 2-year up 2 bps and the 10-year up 4 bps. News out of China that the country had eased its Covid protocols sent stocks higher. China announced that it would reduce the time spent in quarantine for incoming travelers to seven days from fourteen, a move that help to assuage investor concerns over the world’s second largest economy’s isolation.

The FHFA Home Price Index showed home prices rising by 1.6% m/m in April and 18.8% y/y. Bloomberg’s median forecast called for a m/m increase of 1.4%. The low level of housing inventory continues to serve as a tailwind for home values even in the face of higher mortgage rates.
