Good morning and welcome again to Friday and the weekend! News is rather sparse today on the housing front with nothing scheduled. We dug deep to find some items of interest for you. First up, Freddie Mac’s quoted 30yr mortgage rate was 3.47% at the close yesterday, up from 3.22% last week. How’s that for a quick spike higher! Our prediction is 5.00% by the end of 2022. Next up, from the “you heard it here first at Banes dept.”, an article from CNBC discussed the potential of asset “sales” by the Fed to speed up the tightening process. If they start selling treasuries and MBS from their portfolio, the markets will rapidly suffer. Last for today, the new Omicron variant of Covid could push inflation higher as people stockpile more goods.
Bonds today are lower in price, with the 10yr T-Note -11/32 to yield 1.76%. In MBS 30yr FNMA 30yr 2.50% are -8/32 to $100-23, which is a 2.37% yield and tighter at +67 to the 7.1yr treasury curve. That’s all from us. Have a great weekend, and call or email if you need help with MBS or loans.
