bonds: Rates to HOLD
- 02/26/08 07:55 AM
Monday's bond market has opened in negative territory following early stock gains and stronger than expected housing news. The Dow is currently up 94 points while the Nasdaq has gained 15 points. The bond market is currently down 18/32, which will likely push this morning's mortgage rates higher by approximately .250 of a discount point.The only economic data released this morning was January's Existing Home Sales report. The National Association of Realtors releases this data that tracks home resales in the U.S. It showed a slight drop in sales, but not nearly as much of a drop that analysts had expected. (1 comments)
