Investor links at 11.03.. Mortgage rates moved above the key 8% level on the 30-year fixed rate for the first time in more than two years. The abrupt increase is sparking fears that an end to the housing boom may be in sight, potentially slowing the economy. from IQBAL LATIF on Aug 3 1999 4:39AM EST <<the long bond is already nearly at 113 the low I think may hold. it is the long money that is already working to slow down for example mortgage demand. >>

i respond to this post rather than a recent one for the benefit of perspective, and hopefully my understanding, simplistic that it is :) three weeks, and apparently enourmous change deficit up foreign exchange pressure by Japanese oil costs up (even new domestic drilling/production) cpi up ppi up in terms of the cyclical rhythm, in autumn, heating demand will be up consumption going into the holiday season will be up PC sales probably peak at the same time of year demand for jet fuel peaks competition for finance renewals, auto/home, peaks demand for vacation accomodation and services peaks demand for entertainment, in-home and resort peaks yet, the markets, according to some posts across various threads, have apparently discounted all of this and even with a rate increase, the posters expect a rally, same as last time rates increased while i understand that the markets will adapt and adopt mechanisms to facilitate prosperity, financial at least, i wonder how the 'traders' will react monday and tuesday this question will become impertinent on wednesday, nevertheless, i take the risk in asking for an opinion, and appreciate your experience regards, ynot ;)
