Increased Volatility in Interest Rates , Big announcement on 1/22
January 21st, 2015
Interest rates have been very volatile with a flood of financial news hitting the markets.
The Mortgage Backed Security Market (MBS that has a large effect on interest rates) closed last week + 24 bps – but was marked by large swings especially on Friday – closing down -92 bps. So far this week the MBS market is trading down – 10 bps.
Overall, interest rates are slightly higher than last week. 30 year fixed rates are now available at 3.625% with a portion of a point, and 3.75% with 0 points. 15 year fixed rates are now available at 2.875% paying a portion of a point, and 3.125% paying 0 points.
The big news comes tomorrow with an expected European Central Bank (ECB) announcement of a market stimulus. If the amount of the stimulus is higher than what is expected, we could see a rise in rates.
With all this volatility, I feel the safest thing is to lock unless you want large pricing changes to your potential loan scenario on a daily basis.
