May 28, 2003, 12:00 a.m. EDT 1 Min Read

Within the CMBS marketplace, 10Y AAA CMBS now appear cheap vs. AA, A and BBB classes due to the flattening of the yield curve. However, 10Y AAA CMBS still remain -1.62 standard deviations rich to 5Y AAAs with only a one bp spread differential between the 5Y and 10Y AAA classes.

To wit, despite the relative cheapness of new-issue 5Y AAAs and the tightening in PAC IOs, continues to hold that there is better value in PAC IOs.
