Recent turmoil in the stock market has many investors seeking the safety of bonds, which has in turn pushed mortgage rates down to lows not seen since spring.
Friday’s release of the August jobs report will be one factor the Fed will take into account later this month when deciding if a hike in its funds rate is to occur. Many experts are saying the odds of a rate increase this month are 50-50, but this author is on the record as saying it won’t happen. If the Fed does decide to raise the funds rate, it will likely be by only a quarter point and something the markets will take in stride after much discussion and hand wringing for nearly two years.
