Where rates are headed as of
07/16/2010:
Rates are at historic lows as
consumer confidences dips
lower. The housing market
which had experienced a bit of
a recovery in the last many
months is being tested by the
lack of buyer confidence even
with rates at historic lows.
Interest rates over the last
many weeks have not changed
all that much, trading in a fairly
narrow range. Looking into the
future, rates should remain
fairly stable as poor economic
conditions should continue
thus keeping rates stable. The
long term outlook is for rates to
move much higher sometime in
the next year due to the
inflationary pressures
combined with the ever
growing US debt.
