GDP came in strong at 3.8%, which was higher than expected. This sent Bonds down, which are currently at -10/32's. Our market is off almost .25 from this morning. Get your locks done before we have rate changes.

Thursday Market Notes
Bonds are +11/32's. Durable Orders, Initial Claims, and New Home Sales all came in lower than expected. Our market is better by nearly 1/8th. Rates will continue to rise, and Greenspan should prove that when he speaks next week. Now is a good time to lock before rates get any worse. Have a great day!

Market Notes for Tuesday
Existing Home Sales were the same as last month which was higher than expected, but Consumer Confidence was down slightly. So the indicators are a bit of a wash. Bonds are currently +3/32's. Our market is up slightly. The nomination of Ben Bernanke to replace Greenspan could cause the market to rally as well.

Tuesday AM
PPI came out at +1.9 % , the highest in 15 years. Does that sound like INFLATION?. Our markets are flat now but they had fallen off and then came back. With this figure it should be a down day but time will tell . Housing Starts and Building Permits come out Wednesday. Watch the day and we will keep you informed.

Friday AM
What a day for indicators! Our market should start heading south shortly. Bonds were at +19/32 but are now at +6/32 and our market is now flat. CPI came in 1.2 (very high), Ind. Production was down-1.3%, and the Michigan Survey came in lower at 75.4. If you have your rates then lock your loans before they change. Can you say 7%. Practice it so you can say it in a little while.

Bonds are down -12/32 after being down -23/32 and our market is off again by-.15 basis points. Import prices were up the highest in 15 years at +2.3%. Initial Claims were at 389K which was much higher than expected. Rates have went up .125 in just 2 days. Be careful and read our old comments about higher rates ahead. We are going into the 6's shortly. Friday brings the CPI which is expected to be up 1% which will not be pleasant for us. STAY LOCKED!

Wednesday AM
Bonds are now at -16/32 and our market is off -.10 basis points. There are no indicators today so we are just working on the stock market (up) and oil prices (up) . We are now at the 6 % mark in rates and could move higher shortly. So locked and stay happy.

Monday AM
Bonds are at -3/32 and our market is flat. Fed minutes at 2 PM EDT may give us some insight on their plans but they are raising rates again Nov 1 and our rates will continue to rise also. Face the facts, when we start to see more inflation the Feds are really going to fight hard to keep it down with higher rates. Oil prices have been fueling inflation and price increases will be passed on for everything you buy. Lock as you go and count the cash flow! Lot of indicators coming out on Friday. No indicators on Wednesday. Enjoy the week.

Friday AM
Bonds are at -09/32 and our market is off about .05. The number were: Unemployment Rate at 5.1% but Nonfarm Payrolls were only off -35K. We may come but later in the day but the market closes early because of the holiday. We will keep you informed. It was fortunate Nonfarm payrolls were not off more or we could have been slammed. Enjoy your long weekend.

Tuesday AM
Factory Orders came in at +2.5 which gave a boost to our market this AM. Bonds are at +11/32 and our market is better by .125. Remember though we have been beat up the last 2 days and are now at almost 6 % rates. The Feds meet Nov 1 and will raise again so you don't have to be a rocket scientist to know the trend is up. We are going into the 6+ % in interest rates and those rates are still GREAT. Thursday brings initial Claims (expected up) , Unemployment Rate (expected up ) and NonFarm Payrolls (expected down) . That could hurt us. Stay tuned. The president is speaking this AM .
