While the Fed has taken a dominant role lately with their MBS purchases the data still can move the financial markets in the short-term. Data is compiled from numerous sources and comes in two flavors, economic growth and inflation. Some releases are more important than others and thus are more likely to cause wider swings in mortgage rates. Rates move in relation to the deviation from expectations. We have significant releases starting Wednesday. The potential for mortgage interest rate volatility is greater as a result. Any indication of strength in the data will likely result in higher mortgage interest rates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MARKET COMMENT Mortgage bond prices finished the week sharply lower which pushed rates higher.
