    Comment by Lew Corcoran: Economic reports indicate that we may have hit bottom on the recession, and some companies are beginning to see improved profits. Improving economic conditions, the massive gov't debt, and fear of inflation may lead to higher rates soon.
  • Mercantile Mortgage Corporation
    Vote: () () Over the next 30 days rates will decline slightly; over the next 90 days rates will rise significantly.
    Comment by Ed Fussell: Supply & demand. The gov't is issuing a huge amount of debt to pay for stimulus programs. Over supply leads to less demand, so gov't must increase interest yields to continue stimulating buyer demand. Increased yields will result in higher mtg rates

    Comment by Charles Dailey: -I think the party is over for super low rates. With the FED tapering off of it's agency debt purchases, rates should go sideways more or less for 4 months and then edge up 25-50 basis points. Lock when MTGEFNCL:IND is at or under 4.279.

  • Academy Mortgage
    Vote: () () Over the next 30 days rates will remain unchanged; over the next 90 days rates will rise significantly.
    Comment by Toby Lane: -Since the Fed has stopped buying MBS and the value of the dollar is falling, I think rates will rise significantly soon, unless the Fed steps back in. This will take some time, so I think in the short term rates will remain unchanged.
