7.1% Mortgage Rates: The Highest Since February – A Statistical Rollercoaster!

The average rate on the popular 30-year fixed mortgage surged 13 basis points on Friday, reaching 7.1%. This marks the highest rate since mid-February. The week saw mortgage rates fluctuate wildly, influenced by bond yields that spiked mid-week. Yields then dropped after a tariff adjustment but rose again by Friday. Currently, tariffs on Chinese imports stand at 145%. Despite a cooler-than-expected inflation report, bonds sold off, pushing rates up. Mortgage rates generally follow the yield on the 10-year Treasury, which experienced its worst week since 1981. Additionally, a monthly report on consumer sentiment was significantly lower than anticipated. The expectation for inflation rose from 5% in March to 6.7% in April, the highest since 1981. These statistics highlight the volatility in the spring housing market, a critical period for home investments.

OK, so, given the fact that the All Time High in February was 6166. 80% of 6166 is 4,932 points. Why not just tell me his target is 1,234 in the #sp500? Back to June of 2012? BTW- the blue line is #sp500 1,234. Bon Appetite.
