With the market closed on Monday in observance of Veteran’s Day – the rest of the week will roar into action with a packed economic calendar, including a look at retail sales numbers, consumer and producer inflation, and the manufacturing sector too.

Remember that when Bond prices move higher, home loan rates improve! – Bond prices have overall been trending higher over the last few months, meaning home loan rates on conforming loans have improved in general. Any weak or negative economic news arriving this week should help money flow into the safe haven of Bonds, helping Bond pricing move higher and home loan rates move lower. But lingering concerns on the credit quality of Mortgage Bonds could hamper their road higher – so this week could be volatile.
