You are comparing apples and oranges here. Your explanation misses the main point between the unemployment rate and job losses (gains). The job loss figures come from a survey of employers while the unemployment rate comes from an employee survey. Last month, the job losses in the employee survey were much larger for one reason or another. I would point out the job losses in the employer survey look manipulated lower.

Given the uncertainty about who the gains in the repo book will go to until the vote occurs and the pref tenders, my guess is they will continue to mark to market for the time being. Also the financing is only locked for one year and not for the term of the assets.
