Mortgage rates are falling … to pieces. Along with the US economy.

As the US approaches recession and the Atlanta Fed real-time GDP tracker falls to -1.9%, we are seeing mortgage rates falling to 5.30%.

Real Q2 GDP? Still in the doldrums at -1.9%.

Biden is likely walking after midnight trying to find someone to blame for his declining economic prospects ahead of the midterm elections.

Biden is too busy taking showers with his own daughter to care about the economy.

“why are mortgage rates falling?”

Inventory is up and demand is down.

It GDP fell in the second quarter, then we are officially in a recession, as GDP also fell in the first quarter. Two consecutive quarters of “negative growth“ make for a recession under the long excepted definition of the term. Biden and the Dems did that - they were handed an economy that was humming along and poised for future growth, and then applied socialist/wikis to ideas and royally screwed the economic pooch.

See, supply and demand still works. Don’t worry, mortgage rates will vacillate in the coming months always in an upward trend because Biden, Democrats and RINOs are economic geniuses. The same is true with GDP, but a negative trend. The real killer will be unemployment. That kicks in like a rocket come Q4. By the way, I’m an optimist. I haven’t used the ‘D’ word yet.

GDP shrank 1.9% from the previous quarter. IIRC, that is an annualized rate.

Generally, anything less than +3.0% growth is considered not good

Good question. I guess it depends on the next rate hike.

Meanwhile the traitor sends our oil reserves to offshore countries.

I’d say this is a hanging offense all by itself.
