With the missile strike in Syria not a huge news maker, and China may play ball with Trade, AND Trump saying NAFTA and the TPP trade talks are going well, there was really no turmoil last week to cause rates to slide, thus we saw an increase. This week is earnings week, so we are expecting some GREAT numbers. We are looking for rate to climb this week.

Mortgage rates for home loans were pretty much flat last week, after pretty good swing up and down.  We are still looking at locking, as the next tweet could send the stock market up or down, thus influencing bonds.  We are going to be ultra cautious as we get further and further into the month, as the Personal Consumption Expenditure or PCE report will come out on April 30th, and this is the primary report the Fed Looks to for inflation data.  Also The Fed is now purchasing less and less Mortgage Bonds each month, also adding fuel to the Rate Increase fire...remember 6% is not a bad rate!

After a pretty WILD week for the stock market and rates, rates increased a little. And typically, with the stock market down over 1000 points, rates would of improved a TON, but inflationary news is keeping rates on their upward movement.

Home Loan Mortgage rates were almost flat last week, as the stock market gave back a little and bond traders socked the money into bonds.  But don't think this is a reversal of mortgage rates, we are still anticipating rates to be in the 5% by end of March.

Mortgage rates, slightly up last week, only because the holiday caused people to park money in bonds. I anticipate that this week we will see our 8th straight week of rate increases.

Mortgage rates continue to climb for home loans in Boise and surrounding Idaho.  We are seeing less investment and more and more traders are pulling their money out of Bonds and into the red hot stock market.  This is going to continue until we start to get earnings from companines and traders start to see just how much the new Federal Tax plan affects the bottom line and profits.

We are also seeing quite a bit of cooling on the Korean Pensula, as the tit for tat between Rocket Man and Trump seem to be on simmer, probably due to the Olympic Games.  So we will see what happens once the games end.
