WEEKLY RATE – Interest Rates Slightly Improve after FED announcement
January 2016
The stock and oil markets have shown a ton of volatility over the past 2 weeks, but rates have remained relatively stable – improving slightly over that period of time.
Last week the Mortgage Backed Security (MBS) market finished trading slightly down -4 bps. So far this week, the MBS market has made some nice gains trading up +34 bps through Wednesday.
The FED statement came out on Wednesday and they will not raise the Federal Funds rates right now. They site positive labor growth, but economic growth has slowed. The FED anticipated they would raise the funds rate 4 times in 2016, but that no longer seems realistic with the unrest in the markets. Most experts don’t believe the FED will raise the Funds rate at their March meeting either.
With the stock and oil markets showing some signs of improvement, now is a good time to lock. Rates are sitting at or near 7 month lows and I don’t see a ton of improvement from where they are now.
