Fed Vice Chair Sounds Hawkish!

Fed Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer made a particularly "hawkish" comment today intimating that we are quite close to their goals for raising the rate they charge for member banks to borrow funds overnight.. As we have discussed in the past this should have no immediate deleterious affect on mortgage rates but certainly some fees and credit card rates could bump up slightly.  The Dow lost 23 points in a mixed market.
