CPI report shows no big surprises: Colorado Mortgage rates should rebound
Wednesday, April 16th, 2008Mortgage Backed Securities are showing some loss right now. It has been an up and down day for Colorado Mortgage rates and so far we are looking less favorable then what was being reported an hour ago. If the trend continues we may actually see pricing get a little worse today. The Consumer Price index came in today right in line with expectations. This in it self should have brought rates back in line, and we should instead, be experiencing some Colorado Mortgage Rate improvements. The only rhyme or reason I can see causing change in the Mortgage Backed Securities, has to do with the Bullish approach investors are currently using in the stock market. Some Corporate Profits are coming in as expected and investors are seeing that as a good sign. What they forget is that though the profits are coming in as expect they are still coming in as CRAP:-) Investors are like lemmings and I have said this many times. One set of investors take a strong buy approach and the rest follow close behind, all of them thinking that someone knows something the other does not. As soon as they realize that they are all dumb as posts, a rebound should be felt back in the securities market. Colorado Mortgage rates should be seeing improvements right now, but so far that is not the case. I believe that the improvements should be felt by the end of the week. We continue to have economic reports through out the week and the second any of these reports remind us of where we are at as an economy, Colorado Mortgage rates should move back down. FLOATING remains the recommendation in place. We will keep a close eye on the Jobless claims report due out tomorrow. This report by itself can bring things back into prospective.
