Derek Moore is back with ZEGA Financial CEO Jay Pestrichelli to discuss whether Jay Powell or bond traders are in charge of interest rate policy? How option volatility changes around earnings announcements. Why the spread between the 30-year Mortgage Rate and 10-year treasuries is historically wide including MBS (Mortgage-Backed Securities) impact. Plus, how MBS are doing something kind of weird right now. Later they discuss financial conditions, how high yield loans and bonds have greatly outperformed "safer" fixed income areas, and the breadth of the market vs the "magnificent 7" companies.
Is the bond market doing the Fed and Jay Powells work for them?

When the 30-year mortgage spread over treasuries widened in the past
Does this mean mortgage rates need to come down or treasury rates have more to rise?

How MBS bond convexity is positive (hint, it's almost always negative)
Interest rates moving higher means less refinancing (and home sales) extending loan durations.
What is bond convexity and how does it relate to interest rate sensitivity risk
