MARKET REPORTS & ANALYSIS     
  • January Consumer Confidence 98.1 versus estimate of 96.5. The Consumer Confidence is a very strong reading and under "normal" circumstances would cause mortgage rate prices to worsen. Currently, oil pricing and a pause before the Fed meeting is providing good price support.
