INTEREST RATES HIT 6 MONTH LOWS
May 5th, 2014
Interest rates improved to their lowest levels in 6 months last week.
The Mortgage Backed Security market (MBS) remained hot, closing the week trading up + 47 basis points.
There were multiple events last week that would normally lead to higher interest rates, but the headlines in Ukraine are causing foreign investors to increase demand for US bonds, thus pushing down interest rates.
The FED tapered yet again on Wednesday, and most economic reports were very positive.
I expect some retractment in the bond market this week after 2 weeks of solid gains. I would recommend locking interest rates and taking advantage of the recent interest rate improvement.
