Fed Raises Rates- But that is good news.

By
Mortgage and Lending with CMG Home Loans NMLS 248937

 

 

Fed raises short-term benchmark rate by 25 basis points -- leaves investors with expectation for three more hikes in 2018.  News is mortgage interest rate neutral.

 

 

The mortgage market has improved on the news, which is the opposite of what most would think, but very typical of the credit markets.  This move was already priced into the market so it is no longer a worry, and on top of that- there was no change to the language or anticipation of any additional surprises moving forward.

 

In English: This move up has actually helped rates move down a little. 

 

 

Have a great week.

I think this could be a good thing.  Rates do need to be a bit higher to encourage sving.

People have little reason to save money.  A hike in rates  could help that out.

Vern Eaton  While it could be a good thing for CD's etc... we dont want the Fed to raise to quickly and stall the economy.  Right now inflation is very tame, it takes inflation for rates to climb

William Feela As I mentioned to Vern above- there is no reason to increase rates too quickly right now- economic conditions just do not warrant higher rates and an overly agressive move up will stall out the economy
