Today the bond markets reacted to some statements made from the Fed indicating that rates are to remain lower for a longer period of time. This change in the Fed's positioning was expected to some degree across market participants, but the news incited a mini-rally in the markets. Some data to consider. In June, one member of the Fed commitee saw rates under 1.25% by end of year (2017). Now, there are nine with the same position. The reaction to this news was that the 10-year yields dropped lower, but failed to break beyond the 1.65% range, which means that they are still within the range set last Tuesday. We had hoped for a more convincing move, but today didn't quite manage to attain that reaction. Check back tomorrow for more up to date news and mortgage rates.
