			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: large;"><a title="Phoenix Mortgage Broker" href="http://www.azhomebuyercoach.com/free-infoPho"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Phoenix Mortgage Broker </strong></span></a>Updates The Rate Market For Today</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Start  by floating this morning; the rest of the session will be focusing on equity  markets. We are not looking for much improvement however, and continue to remind  the present condition in the rate markets is bearish; although not aggressively  so. Any additional selling in mortgages and we will stop floating and lock. Stay  tuned for updates as necessary. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Rate  markets opened weaker early this morning. </span>At 8:15 prior to weekly jobless claims the 10 yr note -6/32 and mortgage prices  -5/32. Weekly jobless claims at 8:30 were higher than expected; markets were  expecting an increase of about 4K they jumped 11K to 531K. Last week&#8217;s claims  were revised up 6K frm 514K to 520K. Continuing claims declined to 5.92 mil  from 6.02 mil last week, revised from 5.992 mil. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">To apply for an <strong>FHA, VA or USDA loan</strong> by the best <a title="Phoenix Mortgage Broker" href="http://www.azhomebuyercoach.com/free-info"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Phoenix Mortgage Broker</strong></span></a>, <a href="https://firstpriorityfinancial37.mortgagexsites.com/iFrame.aspx?FileName=LoanApplicationPop.x&amp;ReferrerGUID=05e3995c-0dee-4da5-bc47-67edf6face69&amp;language=English&amp;UID=vyzmauzmrjbbeq45ck4c3iet" target="_blank">visit my site</a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Weekly  claims being higher than expected should have provided a modicum of support for  the rate markets </span>and a little pressure on equity prices (although at 9:45 the DJIA was trading  better); at least on a knee jerk reaction. Not the case however, claims data is  leveling out recently so a little chop is no longer the issue it was a month  ago.  We don&#8217;t trust the recent claims data on jobs with the jobless claims a  touch higher, continuing claim lower and a minor improvement on the 4-wk  average.  All the alterations in how jobs and or joblessness are counted have  shifted, and without a straight read of some sort the market will continue to  distrust the reports.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">At  10:00, a few minutes ago, Sept leading economic indicators </span>were expected to be +0.9%; it came at +1.0%, August revised to +0.4% frm +0.6%.  Not a big series so not much attention is paid to it by traders.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Also  at 10:00 the FHFA housing price index for August,</span><strong> </strong>expected  to be +0.3%, prices as reported were down 0.3%. That did a little initial number  on the equity market with the DJIA selling off slightly, The decline boosted the  rate market prices a little.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">At  11:00 Treasury will announce the amounts for next week&#8217;s  auctions; </span>2  yr, 5 yr and 7 yr notes to fund the growing federal deficit. Last month the  total was $112B for all three. Supply, while in the past few months has not been  a problem to absorb, is always a pressure point for the rate markets. The last  auction Treasury conducted, 30 yr bond on the 8th of the month, didn&#8217;t go as  well as traders expected. At the long end of the curve, it doesn&#8217;t necessarily  equate to the auctions next week; but with the dollar declining it begs the  question about how much more foreign investors are willing to take down at  present yields. So far the weakening dollar has attracted investors, likely to  continue this go round. That said, it is unlikely treasuries will rally into the  supply.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Stepping  back; since 8/14 the bellwether 10 yr note has established a well defined range  and set the range for mortgage rates.</span> With the exception of six trading days the 10 yr note has held between 3.25% and  3.50% with most of the trade occurring between 3.35% and 3.47%. When seen in  that context the rate markets have been very stable since mid-summer. Lots of  swings but within a tight range. The run lower (below 3.25%) was immediately  rejected, implying investors have little interest in the 10 yr or mortgages when  their yields fall much below where they trade today. Technically the 10 yr and  mortgages are bearish, as long as 3.50% holds we are not concerned, but if 3.50%  breaks on the note look for a rapid increase of 25 basis points on the note and  30 yr mortgage rates.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: large;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Phoenix Mortgage Broker</span> </strong>Thinks <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Interest Rates</span> </strong>Will Stabilize Today!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">I suggest  starting the day by floating; we normally do that. It is a bear market now however so we  will not press it and move to lock mode on any weakness. If you float today keep  close for our alerts. Unless mortgage markets gain a little traction through the  rest of the day we will lock over the weekend.Look for <span style="color: #000000;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>interest rates</strong></span></span> to remain stable today.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #000000;">If you would like to subscribe to our <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Interest Rate Watch</span></strong></span> service call my office at (602) 291-4362. </span><br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">As  we expected, the 10 yr and <a href="http://www.azhomebuyercoach.com" target="_blank">mortgages </a>opened slightly better this morning with  the benchmark 10 yr testing its technical support yesterday and holding it at  the 3.50% area. </span> No change in the bearish path however, just a bounce in what we believe will be  a range for the note and mortgages of about 25 basis points (3.50%/3.25% on the  10) and 5.00% to 5.25% for 30 yr mtgs. At 9:00 this morning the 10 yr note  traded +8/32 at 3.44% -2 BP; mtgs +5/32 (.15 bp). The DJIA futures traded -58 on  some weaker than expected earnings reports. At 9:30 the DJIA opened -95; 10 yr  +12/32 3.42% -4 BP, mtg prices +5/32.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">To apply for a low <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>interest rate</strong></span> <strong>FHA, VA or USDA loan</strong>, <a href="https://firstpriorityfinancial37.mortgagexsites.com/iFrame.aspx?FileName=LoanApplicationPop.x&amp;ReferrerGUID=05e3995c-0dee-4da5-bc47-67edf6face69&amp;language=English&amp;UID=vyzmauzmrjbbeq45ck4c3iet" target="_blank">visit my site</a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Prior  to the equity market open at 9:30; Sept industrial production </span>was  expected to +0.2%, it jumped 0.7% and August production increased from 0.8% to  +1.2%. Manufacturing output rose 0.9%, lower than +1.2% in August.  Sept  capacity utilization, also better than expected, 70.5% against estimates of 69.6%; August capacity use  was revised slightly better to 69.9% frm 69.6% originally reported.  Manufacturing use increased to 67.5% frm 66.8% in August. The reaction to the  better data pushed mortgages backed to unchanged and the 10 yr note from +8/32  to unchanged.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">At  9:55 the U. of  Michigan consumer sentiment  index,</span> expected at 74.0 frm 73.5 at the end of Sept, was lower at 69.4. The 12 month  outlook question on the survey fell to 79 frm 88.0 at the end of Sept; consumer  expectations at 67.6 frm 73.5 at the end of Sept. The survey is subject to wide  variations at times, but does take some wind from the sales and reminds  consumers are still not in the game of recovery being so heavily bet in the  equity markets. No real positive reaction to the report in the bond and mortgage  markets but the DJIA fell 10 points on the report.</span></p>

</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">The  stock market is opening lower this morning on reports from BofA and  GE;</span> BofA took another $1B loss for the quarter, the second this year. Loan defaults  drove the losses. GE made a profit by cost cutting but its revenues fell short  of expectations.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Treasury  reported August net foreign purchases of US  debt. </span>A  total of $32.9B in August; $21.3B by private foreign investors, $11.6B by  foreign &#8220;official&#8221; institutions (central banks) and $4.3B by US residents. No  need to look any farther as to who is supporting US deficits.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Being  Friday trade will likely have a narrow range through the remainder of the  day. </span>The wider outlook is bearish for the bond and mortgage markets; the shorter view  however is a little better after the 10 yr note managed to  hold  its first key support at 3.50% yesterday. Still looking for a trading range on  the note and mortgages of about 25 basis points; 3.25% to 3.50% on the 10 yr and  5.00% to 5.25% for mortgage rates. So far this morning mortgage markets are  somewhat soft</span>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Phoenix Mortgage Broker</strong></span> Gives <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Interest Rate</strong></span> Analysis</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Floating  is going against the grain these days with the rate markets bearish. However, we  always look for that opportunity to catch a bounce. If you are able to keep  tuned to our rate alerts we suggest floating to start, but if you are unable to  keep close we suggest locking through the day. We will not float overnight  unless mortgage prices improve enough to reduce overnight risk (+.25 bp frm  initial pricing levels)</span></p>
<p>To apply for an <strong>FHA, VA or USDA loan</strong>, <a href="https://firstpriorityfinancial37.mortgagexsites.com/iFrame.aspx?FileName=LoanApplicationPop.x&amp;ReferrerGUID=05e3995c-0dee-4da5-bc47-67edf6face69&amp;language=English&amp;UID=vyzmauzmrjbbeq45ck4c3iet" target="_blank">visit my site</a></p>

<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">More  selling in the interest rate markets this morning. </span>Prior to 8:30 data the 10 yr note was off 5/32 and mortgages were unchanged, the  DJIA futures trade had the index -25 after closing slightly above 10K yesterday  At 8:30 weekly jobless claims were down 10K to 514K; continuing claims also  declined to 5.992 mil from 6.067 mil last week. Sept CPI was fractionally higher  than forecasts; +0.2% for both the overall and the core (ex food and energy  components). Finally at 8:30, the NY Empire State manufacturing index jumped to  34.57, the estimate was a decline to 17.5 frm 18.88 in Sept, new orders  component jumped to 30.82 frm 18.82 (above zero is expansion). All three reports  added more negative response in the bond and mortgage markets.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">On  the weekly claims;</span> continuing claims are declining but may be due to those unemployed running out  of unemployment benefits. 514K new filings however isn&#8217;t a reason to cheer too  much, workers continue to lose jobs at a lesser rate but jobs are still eroding.  <span style="color: #ff0000;">On  the CPI,</span> inflation based on the Sept report suggest a slight increase on the core, but so  far we consider it an anomaly, traders however are on edge with the inflationary  outlook with interest rates at the current low levels. Don&#8217;t have much to  comment about on the NY Empire State index jumping like it did, rather  surprising given the index was expected to decline, it didn&#8217;t go unnoticed by  traders.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">At  10:00 the Philly Fed business index </span>was expected at 12.5 frm 14.1 in Sept, as reported the overall index fell to  11.5; new orders at 6.2 frm 3.3, prices pd at 21.3 frm 14.9 and employment at  -6.8 frm -14.3. Overall the report is slightly better but not nearly as robust  as the earlier NY Empire State data at 8:30. No initial reaction to the report  in either stocks or bonds.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">The  bellwether 10 yr is approaching where we expect to hold at  3.50%.<strong> </strong></span>Looking for a new range between 3.25% and 3.50%. The 10 yr and mortgages are  however technically bearish and it is not advisable to make decisions that the  3.50% will hold until it actually is tested. Both mortgages and long term  treasuries are trading below their 20 and 40 day moving averages and have broken  various chart support levels after interest rates declined to unsustainable  levels based on the increasing view the economy is recovering.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">PIMCO  is betting on deflation based on the view that the economic recovery will be  slow and lethargic. </span>PIMCO  reduced its holdings of mortgages in favor of long term treasuries a month ago  on the bet deflation and not inflation will keep interest rates low.  The increase in treasuries was minor however, from 44% to 48% of the total  $185.7B Total Bond Fund. Traders concerned about inflation, Bill Gross at PIMCO  concerned that deflation is the coming issue. A lot of uncertainty about the  outlook in 2010 will keep volatility high with overall interest rates at these  historic low levels.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">The  FOMC minutes yesterday noted some of the members want to consider having the Fed  buy mortgage MBSs after the $1.25 commitment runs out </span>at the end of Q1 2010. If the Fed does signal it will continue to buy MBSs it  will keep mortgage rates from increasing as much as they would otherwise.  Mortgage rates however will track the 10 yr note direction; if interest rates  increase so too will mortgage rates but with less of an increase if the Fed is  in the game.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Phoenix Mortgage Broker Warns&#8230;&#8230;LOCK Your INTEREST RATE</strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">We  warned of increased volatility this week, the rate markets are near term bearish  but with not much enthusiasm for massive selling. Yesterday mortgage prices  started better, this morning starting lower. We suggest floating to start the  day, but remind to stay close for our updates. Not willing to press the markets  but with the pricing this morning lower we hang in there for a pop. Unless  prices improve frm morning levels we will lock at the end of the session if not  sooner based on market movements.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Treasuries  were weak from the get-go this morning with the stock indexes roaring  higher;</span> the DJIA at 8:00 was trading +90. The 10 down 13/32 and mortgages off 7/32. At  8:30 the 10 -21/32 at 3.42% +7 bp, and mortgages -13/32. At 9:00 the 10 yr  -16/32 3.41% +6 BP, mtg prices -15/32 and the DJIA +109. JP Morgan profits were  well above forecasts (about 7 times better), and is driving all bank and  financial stocks higher this morning, taking the entire market up with it. Most  all earnings in Q3 are beating the Street estimates although only a few are out  so far. Intel is saying sales will to $1B and earnings from Alcoa and others  have been better. In China their exports were down 15%,  but that is the best in a year. At 9:30 the DJIA opened +90, 10 yr note -14/32  3.40% +5 BP and mortgages at 9:30 -11/32 on 30s, -9/32 on FHAs and -7/32 on 15s.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Sept  retail sales hit at 8:30, better than expected; -1.5% overall but when auto  sales are extracted +0.5%, expectations were for a 0.2%  increase.</span> August retail revised to +2.2% frm +2.7% overall and ex autos +1.0% frm +1.1%.  The initial reaction to the better ex auto sales sent treasuries and mortgages  lower but both managed to recover a little from the knee jerk. The DJIA and the  other key indexes are on fire this morning on better Q3 earnings being reported.  No signs of any weakness in the equity markets as the DJIA is now seen headed to  10K.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Earlier  this morning at 7:00 the weekly MBA mortgage applications index fell 1.8%;  purchases declined 5.0% while re-finance applications were down  0.1%</span><strong>.</strong> 64.7% of all apps were for re-finances. The four week moving average for the  seasonally adjusted Market Index is up 5.6%.  The four week moving average is up  1.6% for the seasonally adjusted Purchase Index, while this average is up 8.0%  for the Refinance Index.  The average contract interest rate for 30-year  fixed-rate mortgages increased to 5.02% from 4.89%, with points decreasing to  1.11 from 1.13 (including the origination fee) for 80% loan-to-value (LTV) ratio  loans. The average contract interest rate for 15-year fixed-rate mortgages  increased to 4.44% from 4.32%, with points remaining unchanged at 1.04  (including the origination fee) for 80% LTV loans. The decline in apps on an  increase of 13 basis points in rates tells a big story. With interest rates  headed higher the volume is likely to continue to fall until buyers and  re-financers believe the best has likely passed for rates.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">August  business inventories were out at 10:00,</span> expected to be down 0.9%, inventories were down 1.5%; sales were up 1.0%. The  inventory to sales ratio at 1.33 month frm 1.36 months in July.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">At  2:00 the FOMC minutes are the day&#8217;s biggest known-unknown, with the market  sniffing for hints of dissention on rate hike timing among the ranks and  inflation concern. </span>We know what the statement said, what markets will look for in the minutes is  the debate that focuses on when the Fed will decide to wind down the easing.  Most Fed watchers are expecting the Fed will start by doing re-pos to drain  money from banks before it actually starts raising the FF rate. No matter, the  bond market will as usual be ahead of what the Fed actually does, so we don&#8217;t  wait to see the whites of the eyes before markets discount any tightening.  While no one is expecting a tightening move from the Fed for many more months  until unemployment bottoms, markets will be way out front in driving rates  higher&#8212;-slowly, but moving higher.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Phoenix Mortgage Broker</strong></span> Makes Sense Of Today&#8217;s Interest Rate Market</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Floating  today is touchy; while the markets are better the likelihood of more improvement  through the day is questionable and depends on how equity markets act. We  suggest floating to start but we also caution that the near term is bearish for  the bond and mortgage markets. If floating stay close for our rate  alerts.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000000;">All <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Phoenix Mortgage Brokers</strong></span> are not created equal.  Find out how to lower your <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>interest rate</strong></span> to less than 3% by calling me at (602) 291-4362</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">At 8:30</p>
<p></span></span> <span style="font-size: medium;">the 10 yr note +9/32, mortgage prices +8/32; <span style="color: #ff0000;">at 9:00</span> the 10 yr +16/32, mortgage  prices +11, the DJIA futures -14. At 9:30 the DJIA opened -24, the 10 yr note  +18/32 3.32% -6 BP; mortgage prices at 9:30 +10/32 on 30s, +12/32 on FHAs and  +7/32 on 15s. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">After  the heavy selling on Thursday and Friday last week treasuries and mortgages are  starting better this morning.</span><strong> </strong>As  noted in Friday&#8217;s 4:30 report we expect increased market volatility this week;  the reversal and heavy selling last week purged a lot of bullishness as interest  rates finally hit their low yields.  The trigger last Thursday was the weak demand for the 30 yr bond  auction, comments from various Fed officials that the Fed was preparing to drain  bank reserves with reverse repos, Australia increasing its base rates,  and the exploding federal deficits driven by the mostly wasted bailout  money.  Regardless of the arguments either side of  the rate debate; there is a limit that rates cannot exceed, we believe we have  hit those limits as long as there is no major change in sentiment on the  economic outlook.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"> <span style="color: #ff0000;">Last  week there was very little economic data to chew on; this week</span> we do have more meat on the bone.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Today;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">2:00 Sept treasury budget statement (-$31B, August  -$111.4B)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Wednesday;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">8:30  Sept Retail sales (-2.1%, ex auto sales +0.3%)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Sept export and import prices</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">10:00   August business inventories (-0.9%)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">2:00 FOMC minutes frm the 9/23 meeting</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Thursday;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">8:30 Weekly jobless claims (+4K to 525K; continuing claims 6.06 mil frm 6.04  mil)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Sept CPI (+0.1%, ex food and energy +0.1%)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">NY Empire State manufacturing index (17.5 frm 18.88)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">10:00  Oct Philly Fed business index (12.5 frm 14.1)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Friday;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">9:15 Sept Industrial production (+0.2%)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Sept Capacity utilization (69.6%, unch frm Aug)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">9:55 U. of  Michigan consumer sentiment  index (74.0 frm 73.5)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"> <span style="color: #ff0000;">The  dollar is lower again this morning,</span> sooner or later the US will pay a huge price on its  decline. The Obama administration chose to spend the US out of  recession, the consequence is the dollar is doomed to continue to fall. The  current consequence is a mad scramble for hard assets lead by gold and other  precious metals (silver, copper, platinum, and palladium are leading the run).  Eventually it will lead to an explosion of inflation; that is the bet being laid  now by investors; next up will be <strong><span style="color: #000000;">interest rates </span></strong>as the US has to pay  more for borrowing to fund the spending spree. While on the subject, the CBO has  blessed the current health care reform moves currently boiling in Congress  saying that the US can insure another 15 mil people while it lowers the budget  deficit; really? The plan is to tax the daylights out of health insurers,  businesses that offer health care and yes, those that are currently covered in  some way. One hell of a way to stimulate the economic  recovery.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"> <span style="color: #ff0000;">The  technical picture;</span> the 10 yr note broke above its support Friday (3.28%) it cut through its 20 day  moving average but held Friday at its 40 day average; this morning the 10 is  trading back below its 20 day (3.34%) on the yield chart. We expect the 10 yr  will set up a new range for the near term between 3.25% and 3.50%. Mortgage  prices hit their May high prices but failed, still however holding to their 20  day moving averages this morning. Mortgages technically are a little better than  the bellwether 10 yr note but it still rests with the 10 yr note for the  direction of mortgage rates and prices. The Fed is still buying mortgages to  complete its $1.25T commitment to support mortgage rates, however it is unlikely  that the Fed will up the amount when the plan is completed at the end of Q1  2010.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">If you are shopping for a mortgage, monitoring <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>interest rate</strong></span> markets a minimum of every 30 minutes is imperative.  It doesn&#8217;t matter what rate a <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Phoenix Mortgage Broker </strong></span>quotes you over the phone. What matters is the rate you get and how well the Phoenix Mortgage Broker follows the market and analyze the data.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Phoenix Mortgage Broker gives his thoughts on interest rate markets</strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">If you have an <strong>FHA, VA or USDA loan</strong>, LOCK YOUR RATE!!<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Get started on an <strong>Arizona FHA, VA or USDA</strong> loan <a href="http://www.azhomebuyercoach.com/online-pre-qualification/" target="_blank">HERE</a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Mortgage prices are already lower than at 9:30 as seen below. The 10 yr has taken out its support at 3.28%, the next level of support is right where the market is at 10:00, 3.32%, the 20 day moving average. We suggested locking yesterday, still really don&#8217;t like the risk. If you float today pleas keep alert for our rate alerts. After the recent decline in rates, markets are rejecting the low yields. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Treasuries  and mortgages started a little better early this morning; at 8:30 the 10 yr  +2/32, mtgs +1/32, but didn&#8217;t hold. </span>Stock index futures were lower, the DJIA -26 at 8:30 on a better dollar. At  9:00 the 10 yr note fell out of bed, -12/32 at 3.30%, mtgs -6/32, the DJIA futures  -12. At  9:30 the DJIA opened +5, 10 yr note -10/32 at 3.29% and mortgage prices -4/32.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">August  trade deficit was slightly better than expected, -$30.71B against estimates of  -$33B; no reaction to it as usual. </span>The world knows the US runs trade deficits, importing a lot more than exporting. There are no more data feeds the rest of the day. Today is all about Fedspeak; Fed officials are speaking everywhere today. Lockhart of ATL (8:30) vice-chair Kohn (12:00) and St. Louis&#8217;s Bullard (2:00).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Last  night Bernanke reiterated again that he will be ready to remove stimulus when  &#8220;the economy has improved sufficiently&#8221;.</span> “My colleagues at the Federal Reserve and I believe that accommodative policies will likely be warranted for an extended period,” he spoke at a Board of Governors conference in Washington last evening. “At some point, however, as economic recovery takes hold, we will need to tighten monetary policy to prevent the emergence of an inflation problem down the road.” “Looking at the amount of excess capacity in the economy, looking at the low rate of inflation, we believe that conditions will warrant policy accommodation for an extended period,” he said.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Most  economists surveyed by Bloomberg are rather pessimistic on the outlook for  increased consumer spending in Q4; </span>with unemployment exceeding 10% next year consumers are likely to refrain from the pace of spending in the past quarter. According to the survey of 50+ economists consumer purchases will increase just 1.0% this quarter after increasing 2.4% in Q3. Household spending will grow at a 1.5% pace in the first three months of 2010, and 1.8% in the second quarter, the survey showed.  Obama is considering, and likely will do it, extending the first time homebuyers credit, extending unemployment insurance past the current 27 weeks (if that occurs continuing unemployment claims will increase again after recent declines).<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">The  US, world’s largest economy,  contracted 3.8% in the year ended in June, the worst economic slump since the  1930s.</span><strong> </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Normally when a market holiday occurs on Monday the bond and mortgage markets close the previous Friday at 2:00; today not the case,</span><span style="color: #ff0000;"> </span></span> markets will not close early. Not a big deal except for traders looking for an  early exit.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"> </span> The 10 yr note, driver for the mortgage markets, hit 3.10% last Friday on the initial reaction to the higher than expected job losses in Sept but rebounded to close at 3.18% that day. Since then the 10 yr note rate has slowly increased to 3.31% at 10:00 this morning and mortgage rates, while holding well against the increase on the 10 yr, are also edging higher. We do not expect the 10 can fall below 3.00% unless the outlook for the economy swings 180 degrees from the current overwhelming consensus that the worst is behind us and recovery will continue. 30 yr bond traded briefly under 4.00% yesterday morning (3.96%) until the auction; the 30 yr is unlikely to fall below 4.00%. Mortgage rates for 30 yr fixed with 20% down are not likely to decline much more from present levels if the economic recovery outlook remains as it is now.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Phoenix Mortgage Broker reveals why shopping for the lowest rate is a BIG MISTAKE!!</strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">That&#8217;s right, shopping for the <strong>lowest interest rate</strong> is one of the BIGGEST MISTAKES <strong>Phoenix homebuyers</strong> can make! Let me explain; about two months ago I received a call from someone looking for a new mortgage to purchase a home in Phoenix.  They were shopping for <strong>interest rate quotes</strong>.  At the time, I told them <strong>interest rates</strong> were around 6%.  (I routinely do not quote rates without having all of the information such as credit scores as loans are now &#8220;tiered&#8221; in pricing based on FICO scores).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">They told me they had another <strong>Phoenix Mortgage Broker</strong> who was willing to lock them today at 5.75% and wondered if I would do the same. I explained to them that it was not in their best interest at that time.  They had not even found a home and locking them for 30 to 45 days was futile.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">In addition, because I follow the <strong>interest rate</strong> market and pricing so closely I felt the market was going to trend down with <strong>interest rates</strong> going down over the next few weeks. I showed them the data and systems I use to track <strong>interest rates</strong>.They closed last week with an interest rate of 5.25%. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">I receive market updates every 15 minutes via text, monitor treasury auctions and economic data every morning and afternoon at the start and end of the trading market to determine the best <strong>interest rate </strong>strategies for my clients.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Had I locked them when others who seemingly were offering a better <strong>interest rate</strong>, their monthly payment would have been $81 per month higher. Because they could afford the extra $81 every month, I set them up on a plan to apply the extra $80 per month towards their debt and mortgage. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">By using the $81 another <strong>Phoenix Mortgage Broker </strong>would have them paying, <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">I was able to give them a plan to have their home paid off 9 years early, saving them $93,412.61 in payments and interest!</span></span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">So, had they hired another Phoenix Mortgage Broker who was quoting a lower rate that day, they would have paid an extra $93, 412.61 to the bank! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">This real life example was part of the motivation for starting this blog and creating the Daily Market Rate Update.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Phoenix Mortgage Broker</strong></span> &#8211; Daily Interest Rate Update</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="font-size: medium;">So far today is the first day in the last four that has treasury prices trading  higher, mortgages are following as usual. I suggest floating to begin the day  but unless mortgage prices advance from morning levels enough to lessen risk of  holding overnight we will lock and not float overnight. Still bullish on rates  for the near term but at the present low rate levels we cannot discount a  correction of some magnitude.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Treasuries  and mortgages opened better this morning after the 10 yr note tested and held its support at 3.26%/3.28% yesterday. At  8:30 the 10 yr +7/32, mortgages +4/32; the DJIA futures traded -2 points. At  9:00 the 10 yr +10/32 at 3.22% -4 Bp, mortgage prices +7/32 and the DJIA -10. At  9:30 the DJIA opened -25, 10 yr +12/32 3.21% -5 BP and mortgages +4/32.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"> <span style="color: #ff0000;">At  7:00 this morning the weekly MBA mortgage applications index increased 16.4%;</span><strong> </strong>the  purchase index +13.2% and the re-finance index + 18.2 from the previous week.   The third consecutive week where the 30-year fixed <strong>interest rate</strong> was below 5.0%,  and is at its highest level since mid-May for the re-finance market. The  refinance share of mortgage activity increased to 66.3% of total applications  from 65.3% the previous week. The adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) share of  activity decreased to 6.1% from 6.2% of total applications from the previous  week. The average contract interest rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages  decreased to 4.89% from 4.94%, with points increasing to 1.13 from 0.94  (including the origination fee) for 80% loan-to-value (LTV) ratio loans. This  rate is at its lowest level since May 2009 when it was 4.81%. The average  contract interest rate for 15-year fixed-rate mortgages decreased to 4.32% from  4.34%, with points increasing to 1.04 from 1.01 (including the origination fee)  for 80% LTV loans. This is the lowest 15-year fixed-rate ever recorded in the  survey.<strong> </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Fixed  rate MBS production totaled $117B for September, down $24B (17%) month over  month. 30 yr production decreased by $18B (15%) from August in large part due to  seasonality.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="font-size: medium;">At  2:00 this afternoon treasury will report the budget deficit for Sept and the  fiscal 2009 deficit total; expected to total $1.6T for the year. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">The  only other economic measurement comes at 3:00 this afternoon with August  consumer credit,</span><strong> </strong>expected  to have declined $8.5B after plunging $21.6B in July. Consumer spending is down  but not a problem for the economic outlook or the equity markets; markets are  discounting the consumer and betting on a consumer less rebound based on  business growth and increased profits that were achieved by slashing employees  and expenses.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"> <span style="color: #ff0000;">At  1:00 Treasury will sell $20B of 10 yr notes, re-opening the 10 yr note issued in  August. </span>No problem for the auction as markets are totally convinced the demand for  treasuries, even at these low rates, will continue strong as all auctions have  been for the past three months.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Demand  for longer dated maturities (10 yr and 30 yr) is being pushed somewhat by  mortgage holders buying treasuries to protect against shortened maturities in  mortgage duration as rates fall and re-financing increases.</span> Feeding on itself, as rates fall more buyers step up to push rates down further.  Inflation fears are almost non-existent in the outlook through most of 2010,  also helping drive rates lower. That said, that appears to be contrary to what  we are seeing in the gold market with gold making new historical highs. Gold  bugs don&#8217;t believe that inflation is dead, also we believe gold buyers are not  convinced the US economy is free from a double dip  recession. Then there is the collapsing dollar that is inflating gold prices; as  the buck declines the value of gold in dollar terms increases. Gold prices  however; when inflation is applied is still less than what it was in 1982 when  it hit $800.00.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">The  majority of thinking this morning will be on the 10 yr auction at 1:00 and the  performance in stock markets.</span> The supply issue continues to weigh, but there is cautious faith that the market  will be able to swallow the next two, longer dated offerings. Today&#8217;s 10-yr will  be followed-up by the $12B 30 yr tomorrow; the bigger test of bonds resilience,  suffering from duration, low rates and the, generally, less popular reopened  status.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Why use a <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Phoenix Mortgage Broker</strong></span>? Simple! Not only can a <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Phoenix Mortgage Broker</strong></span> shop different lenders for the lowest interest rates. But, they also can shop for different guidelines.  Recently, one of my clients had spoken with another <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Phoenix Mortgage Broker</strong></span> who could not find a loan with 10% down for a second home.  Because I have over 280 different lenders I work with, I have lenders who will lend wwith 10% down a second home.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>FHA Credit Score</strong> and <strong>Interest Rate</strong> Guidelines have changed! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Many <strong>Arizona home buyers</strong> that come into my office are confused and frustrated when they find out that they are not able to get the low &#8220;teaser rates&#8221; they see advertised on TV and radio.  Why does that happen? Are these advertising practices deceptive?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Well, the answer is no, they are not deceptive.  The details are explained in very small print at the bottom of the page,  For example, if you want the lowest rate available you will need a 740 credit score putting 20% to 25% (varies by lender).  If you are applying for an <strong>Arizona FHA, VA or USDA loan,</strong> you will get the lowest rate with a 720 0r 740 credit score. (depending on the lender)<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Several months ago mortgage lenders instituted changes to the minimum credit scores they would require in order to qualify for an <strong><a href="http://www.azhomebuyercoach.com" target="_blank">Arizona FHA loan</a>.</strong> Most lenders have raised their minimum scores to 620. Many have raised it to 640.  In addition, they have started to institute &#8220;tiered pricing&#8221; based on your credit score.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">&#8220;Tiered Pricing&#8221; is a very simple process where you pay a higher interest rate with a lower credit score on an <strong>FHA loan</strong>.  Tiered pricing is actually a sound, fair and logical way to control loans going into foreclosure without penalizing people who have demonstrated a great history in paying their bills on time.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">NOTE: Their is no minimum credit score required for an <a href="http://www.azhomebuyercoach.com" target="_blank"><strong>FHA loan</strong></a> by the Federal Government.  Lenders have the right to &#8220;overlay&#8221; FHA guidelines and create their own rules and guidelines. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">So how do you get the best interest rates on an<strong> <a href="http://www.azhomebuyercoach.com" target="_blank">FHA</a>, <a href="http://www.aazhombuyercoach.com" target="_blank">VA</a> or <a href="http://www.azhomebuyercoach.com" target="_blank">USDA loan in Arizona</a></strong>?  Simple, <a href="http://www.azhomebuyercoach.com/credit-problems" target="_blank"><strong>raise your credit score!</strong></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Raising your credit score is not always that difficult.  I utilize a software program offered by <strong>Equifax, TransUnion and Experian</strong> to analyze my clients credit report that will tell us EXACTLY what needs to be done to each account and how many points it will raise their credit score!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">So, what does that mean to a potential buyer?  The average lender would just inform a client of their score and begin the process.  I will run the analysis to determine what can be done to raise their score in order to qualify for the best interest rates on their <strong>Arizona FHA, VA or USDA loan.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">The potential savings can be HUGE!  If you get an interest rate that is 1/2% lower,  your potential savings on a monthly basis can be $20 to $100.  And, $50,000 to $100,000 in payment and interest savings over the life of your loan.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Hiring a Lender and Realtor who will offer this type of service is VITAL to your success. </span></p>
