LIVE POST: Will the Fed Impact Mortgage Rates?
September 17, 2015 by 1 Comment
I like writing a “live post” with updates throughout the day to attempt to illustrate how mortgage rates (or the pricing of mortgage rates) can fluctuate throughout the day.
Today the two day Fed meeting wraps up and we’ll learn if the Fed is going to raise the Fed Funds Rate. Following the announcement from the Fed (around 11:00 am PST), we will have commentary from Fed Chair Janet Yellen. While the Fed doesn’t directly dictate what mortgage rates will be, their actions certainly influences mortgage interest rates.

Remember, mortgage rates are based on bonds and may change several times a day.

My apologies for being tardy on a post I typically do on Mondays… it’s been a busy week and well, my business (helping people with their mortgage needs to buy or refinance their homes) has to come before blogging.
