Mortgage Advisory The Week Ahead  November 15, 2009 Jeff Chin Independent Mortgage, LLC Newton, MA jeff@indmortgage.com | jeffchinloans.com
Last Week Mortgage pricing continued to improve slightly again last week for the third week in a row.  Treasury note auctions went well kept a lid on mortgage pricing. The “spread” between the conforming 30-year fixed and 10-year TSY remained strong.  Consumer sentiment came in weaker than expected.
The Week Ahead: Six monthly economic reports can affect mortgage pricing this week. Forecast is “Fairly Active” for the week MONDAY:  October's Retail Sales figures due early morning. A larger than expected increase, will push mortgage rates the next day. TUESDAY: October's Producer Price Index (PPI) that is one of the two key inflation readings on tap this week. The second report is October's Industrial Production data.  WEDNESDAY: October's Consumer Price Index (CPI) will be released Wednesday morning. Wednesday's 2nd report is October' s Housing Starts.  THURSDAY: The Conference Board will release its Leading Economic Indicators (LEI) late Thursday morning.  Floating your Rate? Get my alerts via Twitter: JeffChinLoans
Two-Month Rate Forecast With rates near historic and all-time lows, likely not to decline much from here. Investor lack of appetite to take risk, weak economic growth, and the low near-term prospects for inflation will keep rates down.  4.875% 5.375%
