Commentary: The credit markets are bracing for this afternoon’s $32 billion 3-year note sale. Nervousness over rising commodity prices, worries that the Fed may be acting too slow to curb inflation pressures and the compounding effects of $10 to $15 billion of higher yielding corporate bonds on the auction block this week are all serving to push mortgage interest rates fractionally higher in the day’s early going. That’s the bad news. The good news is that the relatively short duration of these three-year notes together with a yield at its highest level in six months should combine to draw a reasonably strong bid from investors. If so, this event will likely prove to be supportive of steady mortgage interest rates. In order to push mortgage interest rates fractionally lower today — the three-year note auction will need to draw blockbuster demand. While such an outcome is certainly possible – it is not very probable. I’ll provide today’s auction result on my website as soon as bidding concludes at 1:00 p.m. ET.
