Overall, Bonds and home loan rates saw some nice gains early last week, but finished just slightly worse than they began, as Stocks closed at highs for 2009 and pulled some money away from Bonds. Whether Bonds can climb back up this week will depend not only on the economic reports due out, but also on how well the markets receive the incoming round of 2-year, 5-year, and 7-year Note auctions.
The $8,000 tax credit for First Time Home Buyerswas also in the news again last week. White House Spokesman Robert Gibbs said that the administration is evaluating the program and the effect it has had on home sales and will soon make a recommendation to the President. Although there’s been talk and speculation regarding the expansion of this program, as of now, potential buyers must complete their first-time home purchases before December 1 to qualify for the special credit.
