Advice, Community & Common Sense

September 18th, 2007 11:45 AM

Today the Fed announced a 1/2% ("50 basis point") CUT in BOTH the Fed Funds Target Rate (effecting consumers via the Prime Rate, most Equity Lines and some Credit Cards), AND their "Discount Rate" (effecting banks and their cost of borrowing from the Fed).

While this provides some relief to the liquidity crisis and worries about a slowing economy, this move is perceived by the bond and mortgage investors (aka "the markets") to be a potential inflation stimulus.  In plain English: This sets the table for slightly higher 30-year Fixed Mortgage Rates until more data comes in to prove inflation is in check.

Call or email me right away if you're wanting to move to a 30-year Fixed Rate loan!
