Do FED rate cuts lower mortgage rates?
Mortgage 101
Q. What is the most reliable predictor of Mortgage Rates? A. The Ten Year Treasury Note (Stock Symbol TNX)
Q. Do FED rate cuts lower mortgage rates? A. Let’s find out together! See the Six Month TNX Chart below. See the green circles? These mark the dates that rates were lowered by the Federal Reserve. Without exception, the TNX seems to follow. I was speaking with Mike Zimov, my son in law who is a loan officer with E-Loan. He gets rate updates typically twice daily. They tend to travel in LOCKSTEP with the TNX.
So if you want a hint as to the direction rates are going, look there first!
