What’s Happening in Financial Markets?

Turkey’s rate hike forced investors into the bond market.

How Does This Affect My Mortgage Rate?

FOMC:  2 day Feds meeting announced they would reduce the bond purchasing to $65B per month starting in February.  The goal is to keep mortgage rates low moving forward.

The Fed Funds rate will remain at 0-.25% until the unemployment rate remains below 6.5%.  The rate may continue at this level if other factors such as inflation and the labor market remain within measures.

Overall with the worldwide financial struggle, this can lead to a positive push lower for mortgage rates.

Stay tuned for future updates.
