Tuesday's bond market has opened in negative with no relevant economic news scheduled for release today. The stock markets are showing losses with the Dow down 36 points and the Nasdaq down 12 points. The bond market is currently down 6/32, which will likely push this morning's mortgage rates higher by approximately .125 of a discount point.Tomorrow morn ing brings us the release of two reports to be concerned with. The first is the release of the revised 3rd Quarter Productivity report. This index is expected to show an upward revision from the preliminary reading of worker productivity. Higher levels of productivity are thought to allow the economy to expand without inflationary pressures rising. This is good news for the bond market because economic growth itself isn't necessarily ba... 12/07/2007

Tuesday's bond market has opened down sharply, reversing yesterday's major rally that came during late afternoon trading. Today's economic news was weaker than expected, but has failed to stop the selling in bonds and buying in stocks. After closing down 237 points and 55 points respectively yesterday, the Dow and Nasdaq have recovered a good portion of those l osses this morning. The Dow is currently up 168 points while the Nasdaq has gained 36 points. The bond market is currently down 28/32 after closing up 43/32 yesterday. But due to yesterday's rally, I am expecting to see a slight improvement in this morning's rates. However, this will likely be short-lived as bonds continue to slide.The Conference Board posted November's Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) late this morning. It showed... 11/30/2007

 Tuesday's bond market has opened in negative territory following early stock strength. The stock markets are rebounding form yesterday's losses with the Dow currently up 104 points while the Nasdaq has gained 31 points. The bond market is currently down 11/32, which will likely keep this morning's mortgage rates near yesterday's levels. Strength in bonds late y esterday prevented an increase in this morning's rates. The first report of the week was October's Housing Starts that was posted early this morning. It showed an increase in starts of new homes of 3.0%, exceeding forecasts of a 1.5% decline. This is somewhat bad news for the bond market, however, this data is of relatively low importance to the market. In addition, a portion of the report that tracks new permits pulled for futu... 11/20/2007

Tuesday's bond market has opened flat despite weaker than expected economic news and early stock losses. The stock markets are in negative territory with the Dow down 45 points and the Nasdaq down 3 points. The bond market is currently nearly unchanged from yesterday's closing levels, which should keep this morning's mortgage rates unchanged.The Confe rence Board said this morning that their Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) for October fell to 95.6. This was much lower than was expected and indicates that consumers felt much less confident in their own financial situations than many had thought. This is good news for bonds and mortgage rates because it means that consumer spending is likely to slow in the near future. However, with the importance of tomorrow's economic data and FOMC meet... 10/31/2007

This was much lower than the 104.5 that was expected and was the lowest reading since November 2005.

This is good news for the bond market and mortgage rates because waning confidence usually trans... 09/25/2007
