Connecticut Financing Update and Today's Mortgage Rates 9/1/12

Mortgage rates have been on the rise in the past two weeks, but it still is a perfect time to purchase a home and/or refinance your existing mortgages.  Treasuries are flat to open the morning, as investors wait to see what Bernanke will hint at during his speech from Jackson Hole.  No one expects him to announce the plans for QE3, however investors are hoping for clues as to the potential release of the easing, some hoping for as soon as the Fed’s next meeting in a couple weeks.  Today’s data has taken a back seat to the speech, but the calendar was busy nonetheless. The University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index rose to 74.3 in August, compared with initial reading of 73.6, showing an improved view of consumers about the U.S. economy.  New orders for U.S. factory goods rose 2.8% in July, posting the biggest increase since July 2011 and rising for the second time in three months.  The markets are closed on Monday in observation of Labor Day, however will be very busy with the shortened week.  The ECBs meeting takes place on Thursday, Nonfarm Payrolls will be released on Friday, and another round of auctions will take place.  Currently the 10 year note is at 1.634% and mortgages are roughly unchanged from yesterday morning.
