The market seems ready for this.
Posted on 12/16/15 at 1:12 pm to Shankopotomus
I would think this was pretty much priced into the market already.

Has Yellen provided forward guidance?

This was probably the most pre-announced change in interest rates the Fed has ever had.

I think I saw something out there (maybe on twitter) - but I have been a little busy so sort of just watching the drive-by posts about it

Lol Cd's have historically produced a net negative real return after you account for inflation and taxes.

The junk bonds have been getting hammered. I think higher grade bonds will be a slow and steady grind downwards. IMO opinion the best case scenario in bonds is maintaining value in the case of buying and reinvesting yields.

Still watching her presser. I think she is handling it well. Some of the questions sound like the questioner didn't understand her statement.

I will start building next month. How much do you think this will effect interest rates and will they increase it again in the next 6 months?

Ted Kennedy always had to turn around and ask an aide for help replying. He never understood the questions he read to Greenspan written for him by one of his aides.

quote:Negligible. The increase was already factored into existing rates. In fact, rates for 10 year treasury securities, which most mortgage lenders use to tie their 30-year mortgage rates to, fell a little bit (a couple of bp) after the announcement was made today.
How much do you think this will effect interest rates
quote:Probably, in March or April, IMO. Another .25%.
will they increase it again in the next 6 months?

I'm in the same boat, loan is supposed to close next week. Hopefully rates stay steady for the next 6 months or so.

The impact is meaningless to anyone getting a mortgage.on 200k at say 4 vs now 4.25, it's 11k on life of loan over 30 years.
