YOUR Mortgage Minute -- August 12, 2009

Good Morning,

In the markets today, Bonds are attempting to hold on to their gains this morning in advance of two big events coming up this afternoon. At 1 o'clock Eastern Time, the results of the $23 Billion auction of 10-year Notes will be released. Then at 2:15, the Fed will issue its Policy Statement after its two-day Fed Meeting.

The news from the Fed will be both multi-faceted and potentially market moving. Any hints of inflation and hikes could cause the market to swing in one direction. However, news of Bond purchases could cause an opposite reaction.

I recommend floating as of now, but be prepared to change course if the action heats up this afternoon. If the situation changes, I will certainly let you know. In the meantime, I hope that you have a great rest of your day. If there is ever anything that I can do for you, please let me know.
