Mortgage Rates Drop – How Far Will They Go?

A global “flight to safety,” where money flows out of other investments and into the relative safety of US Treasuries, helped draw down mortgage rates last week.  A report on China’s manufacturing industry revealed some unexpected contraction, spooking US and global financial markets.

Mortgage rates are likely to be most influenced by the Federal Reserve meeting, this week.  It is widely anticipated that the Fed will reduce its bond purchases by another $10 billion per month.  If this comes to pass, mortgage rates could go either way.  If the market believes that the economy will easily outgrow the benefit of the stimulus, then rates could trend upward.  However, if sentiment in the market feels that the economy still may need more boost, then rates could trend downward. This could be especially true, if there is more negative economic news.  If the Fed decides not to reduce QE3 further at this time, rates are more likely to trend downward, as that may be interpreted that the Fed has lost a little bit of faith in the economy’s ability to grow without support.
