| Home Prices Still Surging, But Today"s Data is For April | ||
| 6/28/2022 3:26 PM | ||
| It"s one of the perennial "yeah buts" of the two largest and most widely-cited home price indices: there data is always about 2 months old by the time it comes out. This is the nature of home price reporting. It doesn"t mean the data is bad or wrong--simply that it should be taken with a grain of salt given that interest rates and consu...Read More | ||

| You can rest assured that no animals were harmed in the making of this commentary! But the harm felt by stockholders during the last several months has not been trivial, and not only confined to lenders.

| Last week was significantly calmer than the previous week for rates (and many other things in the financial market, for that matter). After hitting the highest levels since 2008 on June 14th, rates lurched lower through last Thursday.

| Sideways Range Taking Shape | ||
| 6/27/2022 11:31 AM | ||
| As rates moved up from the lows seen at the end of May, we viewed it as the confirmation of the broader sideways momentum that we hoped would replace the pervasive upward momentum that had been in place for most of 2022. As rates moved down from the long-term highs that followed the CPI scare and Fed adjustment, we knew we"d be look...Read More | ||
