Today's Market Update- Thursday,
July 9th, 2009 11:15AM ET
Current Trend Direction: Sideways
Risks favor: Floating Rates Current Price of FNMA 4.50% Bond-
100.78, -16bp Bonds got a nice boost yesterday from a strong
10-Year Note Auction, giving them a strong 66bp gain on the day
and giving them a convincing break above the tough ceiling of
resistance, the 50-day Moving Average. Interest rates are lower
but, can reverse sharply as technical indicators show bonds are
"overbought". Hence, we are cautiously recommending floating
interest rates here and be ready to lock in at a moments notice.
Economist and Author Harry Dent said in his July Forecast "This
may be the last chance to refinance mortgages for lower fixed
rates for the next 3 to 5 years". His forecast calls for
stocks and treasury yields to rally, followed by a falling stock
market and rising interest rates.
