Mortgage Bonds open near unchanged but Treasury prices push lower. Late yesterday S&P warned of a downgrade to all of the Euro countries if leaders fail to hammer out a credible plan to shore up the region's debt crisis. LIBOR, the index commonly used by banks to index their adjustable rate mortgages, continues to move a bit higher. Stocks and Bonds trade in a tight range today in the absence of any economic data and without any major headlines out of Europe. Bonds up 6bps and dow up 52 at market close.
