Global Markets like Europe will continue to play a key roll in the rise and fall of rates. With Europe still facing uncertainty the U.S. bond market still is a Safe Haven for investments. When this happens Mortgage Rates are the beneficiaries as money flows into bonds and pressures yields lower. BUT just as those fund came in and Europe eventually figures its way back, funds will once again flow back into foreign markets leaving the U.S. Bonds and Rates with a short term life span of low rates.

4th Quarter earnings also are HERE. As the private sector continues to release earnings reports and if they come in upbeat then the forecast for 2011 will be more robust. Pressuring Interest Rates.
