Delaware Mortgage Rates - August 19, 2008
August 19th, 2008 by John Thomas
This is my daily advice on floating or locking your Delaware mortgage rate for Tuesday August 19, 2008.
The release of the Producer Price Index (PPI) today came out really high. It rose 1.2% for July 2008 which is more than double expectations. The Core PPI for the year is at a 3.5%, which is the highest since 1991. This is typically really bad news for Mortgage Rates and mortgage backed securities. This should have sent rates higher but the news hasn’t move the bond market. This means traders realize that the higher inflation spike was due to the spike in oil prices. Now that oil has come down they are calculating inflation will be tamer in the months to follow. Here is a link to an article explaining the jump in wholesale pricing that the PPI is calculated on http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080819/economy.html
I am recommending that you FLOAT your Delaware Mortgage Rate because if this news didn’t drive rates higher then we have a good chance of improving the rest of the week. Again keep in touch with your mortgage professional so that if the market decideds to change you can lock in your mortage rate.
