Mortgage Rates Are Improving! Why?
Why are mortgage rates suddenly improving? Financial Data is starting to show signs of weakness. The unemployment report issued on Friday, May 3, 2024, was worse than expected. Although it is tough on the economy, it is a blessing for mortgage rates. Continued improvement from here is very possible. What additional reports are showing signs of weakness?

The Fed Decision May 1, 2024
The Federal Reserve left rates unchanged today. The last two inflation reports being worse than expected have created bumps in the road which continues the higher for longer narrative of the Federal Reserve. There were some positive pieces to today's meeting with the slowing of the sale of treasuries on a monthly basis beginning on June 1, 2024. This is a good indicator that we are possibly at a tipping point to start seeing some cooling in the economy, which will ultimately lead to future rate cuts. As indicated in many shows, I do believe that our first rate cuts will not come until fourth quarter of 2024 whether that we earlier or as late as December.
