Should I float? Should I lock? - Daily Update for Tuesday, June 16, 2009

Here are the daily thoughts on floating or locking if you are asked by your clients.

As always - consult your favorite mortgage professional who will be able to offer the best advice for YOUR unique situation.

Building permits and housing starts both rose higher than expected. The Producer Price Index came in quite a bit lower than expected as well as lower than last month's rise.

Technically speaking - the FNMA 4.5% 30 year bond attempted a run at the 200 day moving average yesterday only to fall back on today's housing start news. Bonds are rising up from being oversold.

I am recommending to

LOCK your best mortgage rate.
