From Matthew Graham at Mortgage News Daily: MBS RECAP: New Week, New Sense of Urgency

The new week wasted no time in differentiating itself from the previous week as bonds sold off somewhat briskly this morning. ... The bigger question of "where do we go from here" may depend on the incoming data and especially Wednesday afternoon's Fed announcement/forecasts. Despite the early selling pressure, bonds offered some reassurance in the afternoon by holding calmly under 1.50%. [30 year fixed 3.05%]

• Also at 8:30 AM, The New York Fed Empire State manufacturing survey for June. The consensus is for a reading of 22.0, down from 24.3.

• At 9:15 AM, The Fed will release Industrial Production and Capacity Utilization for May. The consensus is for a 0.6% increase in Industrial Production, and for Capacity Utilization to increase to 75.1%.
