Economic Releases - Week of October 16, 2006

November 15th, 2007 by Jeff · No Comments

Estimates of major market indicators that influence mortgage rates are provided by Dan Green of The Mortgage Reports.  Some highlights of the prior week include:

It was another brutal week for mortgage rates, highlighted by the minutes from the Fed’s September 20 meeting.  By week’s end, mortgage rates ticked up as much as 0.25%. If there was one lesson to learn from the market’s erratic behavior since mid-September (see graph above), it’s that mortgage rates swing too high and swing too low in response to economic data and never, ever really settle.

Check out what is in store for the coming week.
