Mortgage Bonds opened slightly higher, but quickly declined after ADP reported that private employers added 281K workers in June, well above the 200K expected and up from the 179K recorded in May.

Stocks are trading at all-time high levels headed into tomorrows Jobs Report with the Dow Jones near a frothy 17,000. It will be very interesting to see how Stocks respond to what is likely going to be a decent Jobs Report. Maybe we see a sell on the news reaction.
