Fed keeps rates on hold
 
At their March 18 FOMC meeting, Fed members voted to keep the Federal Funds Rate target range set at 3.50-3.75%. It's a tough situation for Fed members: job growth is very low, inflation is rising again, and the war in Iran multiplies the uncertainty.

Mortgage rates move up
 
In the first week of the war, average 30-year mortgage rates managed to stay in the low 6% range. But with the conflict broadening, oil prices jumping, and a shocking PPI (wholesale inflation) report, US treasury yields and mortgage rates moved up aggressively. Remember: rising inflation is bad news for bond prices and, by extension, mortgage rates.

A little good news
 
The National Association of Realtors' Pending Home Sales Index rose 1.8% month-over-month in February to 72.1. Despite the improvement, transaction activity remains very subdued. An index level of 100 is equal to the average level of contract activity in 2001! So we are running 28% below the sales pace from 25 years ago. Yuck.
