Mortgage Market Overview

Overall, it is going to be a pretty active week for the bond market and mortgage rates. Wednesday's GDP report and FOMC Policy Statement and Friday's Employment report are the most important releases of the week. Wednesday will likely be the most important day with the GDP and FOMC meeting, but Friday's data can also lead to sizable changes in mortgage rates.

The first data will be posted Tuesday morning with the release of the Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) for the month of October. It is expected to show a small increase from last month's 99.8 reading, indicating that consumers are more likely to make large purchases in the near future. As long as the reading doesn't exceed 100.0, we will likely see the bond market react favorably to this report.

The second report of the week will be posted Wednesday morning with the release of the preliminary reading of the 3rd Quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The GDP is considered to be the benchmark measurement of economic growth because it is the sum of all goods and services produced in the U.S. and is likely to have a major impact on the financial markets and mortgage pricing. Current forecasts call for an increase of approximately 3.1% in the GDP.
