About Government Refinance and Home Purchase Programs

The Fed meetings in March were good for mortgage interest rates. The markets have been anticipating a Fed interest rate hike some time later this year but Fed chairman Janet Yellen indicated that the economy was still more sluggish than she would like, which led observers to believe that a Fed rate hike might be later than expected. The immediate market response to Yellen’s comments was a drop in bond yields, which led to a correlating drop in mortgage interest rates.
