Is Trade Hurting Housing? Transitory Growth and Permanently Low Inflation?
Mortgage rates moved higher at a pace that was probably quicker than the average homebuyer would like yesterday . That was part of a 4 day move leading back up from the lowest levels in more than a year (or close to them, depending on the lender). That 4-day move could have easily been quite a bit longer, and it still could be, as long as we overlook today's market movement. Thankfully, it's taken rates back in a friendlier direction. At issue is the unexpected flare-up in British politics surrounding Theresa May's referendum gambit yesterday. To be fair, the gambit was unexpected, but the flare-up makes perfect sense. Long-story short, if May is ousted (and that seems likely), it creates uncertainty surrounding a major economy and financial center. It also makes a "no-deal" Brexit more likely
