I hope all you Mom’s had a wonderful Mother’s Day yesterday. I was lucky to be able to spend all day Saturday with my mom, who helped me during the West Seattle Community Garage Sale and to have lunch with her and my family on Sunday. My son and hubby made me a delish dinner last night… I can’t think of a better Mother’s Day. 🙂 This photo is a pic of my mom with her daughters at Disneyland.
On Friday, mortgage rates improved following the Jobs Report. This morning, they’re trending higher again and to essentially the same pricing as last Monday’s rate post (slightly improved pricing). People are often surprised by the recent volatility with rates and to learn that mortgage rates may change several times a day.
There are no economic indicators due to be released today or tomorrow. Here’s what’s on deck for the rest of the week:
- Wednesday, May 13: Retail Sales
- Thursday, May 14: Producer Price Index (PPI); Initial Jobless Claims
- Friday, May 15: Empire State Index; Consumer Sentiment (UoM)
