Moving further into 2019 we could see more volatility with mortgage rates. Depending on the economic data out of the US, Europe and Asia we could see mortgage rates move higher if the world economy and more specifically the US economy improves from current levels.
If things continue to slow down for the United States, China and Germany you may see mortgage rates improve. When economies slow down interest rates generally move lower. When economies improve interest rates generally move higher.
And don’t forget to keep an eye on trade negotiations between the United Sates and China.
A resolution to the trade war between the United States and China could easily push mortgage rates higher. Many investors and analyst believe much of the current economic problems in the United States and world wide can be tied to the trade war between the two countries.
