Not necessarily. And oil skyrocketing today is not the big news. It is the price of wholesale gasoline up 25+ cents IN ONE DAY that is the big news. That translates into a daily pump increase of 25 cents across the board.

If 30-year conforming fixed rates come down to 5.50 to 5.75% in the next week or so, there will be more fundings and more new loan applications as many of the A paper borrowers will take loans at this range, or even a little higher for cashout refis. This range is the trigger point for those who have been on the fence. Some is for 5/1 I/O at 5.00 to 5.25%. All is assumed at par rate on a 30-day lock.
