Rates Seen Staying Higher For Longer. Blame Canada?
6/9/2023 3:20 PM
In a surprising turn of events, this week"s biggest market mover for interest rates was a policy announcement by the Bank of Canada (BOC). The event was credited for prompting a re-think of the US Federal Reserve"s rate outlook.

6/9/2023 8:46 AM
This otherwise sleepy Friday began with the sort of clearly defined spike in volume and yield that often accompanies big ticket economic data.  With the time of the spike being 8:30am (the headliner time slot, to be sure), market watchers refreshed their econ calendars to make sure nothing was missing.  Only those with more internati...Read More
 
Mortgage Rates Recover After Downbeat Data

Economic data is one of the most basic and reliable inputs for the bond market.  The bond market, in turn, dictates day to day interest rate movement.  In general, weaker economic data pushes rates lower and that was today in a nutshell. Weekly Jobless Claims came in at the highest levels since 2021 and the bond market reacted immediatel...Read More
