Rough week for mortgage rates, as economic news all pointed to NO Recession coming causing rate to increase by .30 of a point. This week, with the attack on oil, rates are improving a little, but we will have to see if it is stable or now. We are definitely in a locking mode.

Mortgage Rates in Boise & Nampa made a GREAT run lower last week, hitting 24 month lows on Wednesday, only to pull back on Friday. Today we are looking to make a run lower again home loan rates as the news media look towards the 3T again, with Trump Tweeting about Tariffs with a meeting with China coming up. If the meeting goes well, this could spell the end of good rates as any movement in tariffs easing with cause stock market to rally. On the flip side, if Trump storms out of meeting, and Tariffs stay in place we would see a sell off in Stocks and Interest rates would improve. Watch the news!

Mortgage rates slide again last week, although giving some of it back today. Pending the 3T's (Trump, Tweets & Tariffs), most of the economic news should be mortgage rate friendly this week. We are seeing conventional hovering in the high 3's and government (FHA/VA/USDA) in the mid to low 3's.

Mortgage Rates posted a very nice improvement last week, all based on Trump, Tweets and Tariffs. Economically, the numbers were good, but traders are fearing China's next move, and thus traders are selling stocks and putting their money into safe havens like Mortgage Bonds. We are carefully floating this week and the 3T will be influencing rates more than anything else.

Mortgage rates worsen towards the end of the week, and the trend is continuing today with the Stock Market rallying. But rates will bounce for the next few days in anticipation of Friday's Job Numbers. We are in locking mode, taking advantage of good rate gains and not gambling into the Jobs data on Friday.

Mortgage rates managed to squeak out a small improvement last week, but we are starting out this week worsening, as Trump extended Tariff hold and it looks like there could be a Trade Deal with China. This could be bad for rates as a good trade deal with ROCK the Stocks and typically sends bonds yields higher, which will send mortgage rates higher.

Mortgage rates worsened a little last week, and stock rallied for 5 days. I am thinking rates may worsen this week as well, with a potential China resolution on trade coming and Companies start announcing last quarter earnings. We also have housing data, inflation data, and Retail Sales for December. If all of these are good, Stocks should rally which will drive mortgage rates higher.
