Phil Osborne here with the Lehigh Valley Wealth Center Weekly Mortgage Market Update. Mortgage interest rates rose this week approximately .25-.5% as inflation continues to bully the bond market which controls mortgage rates. Core inflation which takes out food and energy prices is currently at 2.1% just above the Feds comfort level and overall inflation with food and energy costs is at 3.2% year over year. The economy continues to grow at a very slow rate as employment and income levels remain stagnant.

Phil Osborne here with the Lehigh Valley Wealth Center weekly mortgage market update.
Mortgage bonds shot off like a rocket early this week pushing interest rates lower but ended the week on a sour note after inflation news scared bond investors away! High prices on the consumer level continue to be a problem along with the rising price of black gold-oil now floating around $130-135 per barrel. The Fed has made it very clear that short term rate cuts are over, hopefully that will moderate inflation and long term mortgage rates will drop in the coming months.

Phil Osborne here with the Lehigh Valley Wealth Center Weekly Mortgage Market Update. Mortgage interest rates edged lower this week due to poor economic news in manufacturing, employment, and overall consumer confidence which reached its worse level in over 26yrs. Strong Foreign demand for government securities and bonds was also a contributing factor to lower rates. Inflation continues to be a problem however as food and energy prices continue to climb. If inflation risks subside mortgage rates could fall considerably in the coming months giving many home owner’s opportunities to save thousands.

Phil Osborne here with the Lehigh Valley Wealth Center Weekly Mortgage Market Update. Mortgage interest rates ended the week slightly lower than last week due to a weak stock market as traders shifted money out of stocks into bonds. The credit crisis presumed over by many last week showed signs that the worse is not over as more financial and insurance firms posted huge losses and massive mortgage related write downs. There have been over $319bin in mortgage related write downs since the credit crisis began 3rd quarter of 07. Oil reached another record this week and many fear oil will reach $150-200 a barrel within the next 2 years. This is not good news for inflation hating bonds and mortgage backed bonds, if inflation persists long term mortgage rates could move higher in coming months.

Phil Osborne here with the Lehigh Valley Wealth Center Weekly Mortgage Market Update. Mortgage interest rates ended the week slightly improved from last week. The Federal Reserve dropped the Fed Funds rate by .25%. However the Fed hinted that the most recent rate cutting cycle of short term rates could be over. This was great news for long term mortgage rates as they react to inflation more than short term rate movements. The Economy grew .6% in the 1st quarter slightly better than expected. 20,000 jobs were lost in April much better than economists expectations of 75,000, bringing the unemployment rate to 5%. Overall growth in the economy is slowing and if inflation moderates mortgage rates could continue to drop.
