These are the three areas that have the greatest ability to impact mortgage rates this week: Fed, Trade War,...
Message: We have a good number of economic reports due out this week that has the potential to move mortgage rates. Rates have been moving sideways for some time now. It would take something unexpected, like a complete breakdown in trade talks, to push rates lower. Look for rates to move sideways to higher on relatively modest volatility. #RaleighMortgage #TheMoreYouKnow #MortgageRates #Markets #ChinaTrade #TheFed

Message: Since the beginning of this year, investors and analysts have wrestled with what the Fed may or may not do with interest rates this year. The past three weeks the shift of sentiment has moved the needle to most thinking that the Fed is likely done increasing rates this year, and there are even a few speculating the Fed’s next move on rates will be to lower them. <<== As usual... speculation rules the markets. #RaleighMortgage #TheMoreYouKnow #MortgageRates #InterestRates #FedMinutes

Message: While we have some critical housing data this week that we will want to pay attention to, there's nothing due out that is likely to move rates. Markets will be paying closest attention to the trade negotiations with China. If trade talks completely breakdown, we could see rates push lower. Otherwise, rates are likely to move sideways for the week. #RaleighMortgage #TheMoreYouKnow #MortgageRates #realestate #markets #Fed #China
