Homebuyer's mortgage watch January 6, 2019

This Week Highlights the Following Updates:

As if to remind markets that the sky is not falling and the economy is still powering forward, last week ended with news that 312,000 jobs were created in December.
Not only was that the largest monthly number in a decade, but 58,000 jobs were added to the previous two months.
While it bears noting that global economic activity appears to be slowing, and the US economy continues to face many other challenges, we are still in a period of economic expansion.
The Federal Reserve Chair also weighed in this week with comments that soothed fears of a Fed that was becoming overly rigid.
The pessimism that has been ruling the markets for the last couple of months may fade a bit in the coming weeks. As such, we’re likely to see rates move more in sync with incoming economic data.
Monday’s release of the ISM Services Index should set the tone for the week. If it declines more than expected, it will remind us that the economy is slowing, and rates are likely to remain level.
However, any positive economic news will very likely press rates higher as the week progresses.
