With all this news in the media, what would one predict about the interest rates? Feds may continue to reduce rates tomorrow by half a percent but WHEN will we see it in our rates that we can offer our clients?
Brief guess from you, are rates going up or are rates going down? |

You would see a full point drop if the Fed would say they would buy Mortgage Backed Securities.
As this point, I would rates are going higher until Investors start buying the MBS |

| After the .75bps rate cut tomorrow I say they go up a little bit then they'll drop. Nothing other than a hunch. The problem is 10, 12 & 15 day locks are becoming extinct unless you float until you get a CTC. Even 30 day locks are a roll of the dice if you have recission. |

are we waiting to hear if they are going to buy Mortgage Back Securities, and if so, when will we learn if they are or are not going to? |

I am getting post's that rates dropped by .250 today.
But who knows, maybe we already saw the low rates a few weeks back from the talk of feds cutting rates again. |
