Market Comment for Week of November 21, 2011...
MARKET COMMENT Mortgage bond prices ended lower last week, which pushed mortgage interest rates slightly higher. The producer price index and core rate both came in lower than expected and helped rates improve earlier in the week. Unfortunately, retail sales beat expectations which countered the PPI data. Poor auctions in France and Spain fanned the Euro debt concerns which helped rates a bit. However, housing starts showed a surprise increase and weekly jobless claims were lower than expected…See More

The reaction was negative and…See More

MARKET COMMENT Mortgage bond prices ended higher last week, which pushed mortgage interest rates lower. The financial markets remained extremely volatile. Most of the rate improvements came early in the week following Japan’s intervention to weaken the yen and Greek Prime Minister Papandreou’s indication that budget cuts would be put to a public vote. Unfortunately some of those rate improvements were erased when Papandreou retreated on the vote and the European Central Bank made a surprise…See More
