Money Market Update

Mortgage bond prices fell last week pushing mortgage interest ratesslightly higher.  There were large swings throughout the week.  Bonds rallied mid week following Fed Chairman Beneranke’s comments about weakness in the economy which helped stabilize rates.  Unfortunately strong stocks and a weak 30YTreasury auction Thursday erased the improvements seen Wednesday. Mortgage bonds ended the week worse by about 1/8 of a discount point.
