TODAY’S MORTGAGE RATES
October 17th, 2011
Last week saw a continuation of the stock market rally from the week before. Stocks were trading higher, increasing the flow of investments from bonds to stocks. The bond market closed -75 bps down – which should have pushed rates a little bit higher. Even so, most rates have stayed the same. Of the 10 business days in October – the bond market has closed down 9 of them.
As of the writing of this email on Monday morning, the stock market is trading down over 100 points – and the bond market is trading up + 42 bps. This should help regain some of the losses from last week. This week should be another volatile week as many companies will be reporting their 3rd quarter earnings.
