  • It Had To Happen Some Time

    by Matthew Graham on May 27 2008, 2:39 PM
    After a good start to last week, we faded on Friday and that gave way to rising rates over the weekend. They are rising yet again this morning. As we've discussed, mortgage rates are directly connected to the trading of Mortgage Backed Securities (often...
  • Off To A Good Start

    by Matthew Graham on May 20 2008, 2:41 PM
    The beginning of this week has seen another slight improvement in Mortgage Bond Pricing (which lowers rates). On Friday, a low consumer sentiment reading caused rates to improve in the morning, although they gave back many of those gains in the afternoon...

    This week began in slow fashion as there were next to no scheduled economic reports that affected mortgage rates. When data is in short supply, traders turn to the stock market to get clues about how to invest in MBS. Stocks have had some ups and downs...
