Mortgage Rates Unpredictable

By:: Bill Rice - MortgageLoan.com

Mortgage rates should move down, but there is a lot of confusing information in the mortgage-backed securities and bond markets. Early morning equities futures are predicting a punishing opening on the heels of the government announcing another $30 billion for AIG. Normally, that would indicate a strong bond rally and lowering mortgage rates. However, between the Obama economic stimulus plan and recent budget proposal there are lots of additional questions in the future of mortgages. Today is likely to focus on an ugly equities reaction, while the bond and mortgage market is likely to hold its position for more information. Expect mortgage rates to stay flat or improve slightly.
