Mortgage Bond Prices

Mortgage bond prices rose last week pushing mortgage interest rates lower. We were positive throughout most of the week as stocks struggled and oil prices fell. The ADP employment figure was lower than expected and weekly jobless claims were higher than expected which generally helped mortgage bonds.

Mortgage Market Comment

Mortgage bond prices rose slightly last week pushing mortgage interest rates lower.  The Fed meeting resulted in no interest rate adjustments at this time despite continued talk of inflation fears. Weekly jobless claims came in at 429k, higher than the expected 390k and helped rates recover and rally Thursday.  Mortgage bonds ended the week better by about 1/2 of a discount point.
