Off topic, but why do business people use the term “basis points” instead of just saying the percents? It went from 6.97% to 7.10%. Why the need to use basis points?


It’s stated that way to keep the math straight- if you say rates surged .13%, it may be confused as .13%*6.97%, which is incorrect. At least that’s my logic.

Chicken is only posting this because he’s a Never Trumper Groomer with TDS.

Presumably he meant the 30 year bond and not the 30 year mortgage?

His quote in the OP...

the popular 30-year fixed mortgage


The 30-year bond has been under 5.5% for more than a decade.

A quick search says 30 year rates are 6.7 to 6.83 today. Is every news outlet wrong?

Yes.

The only sources you can trust are Cat Turd's tweeter and Alex Jones.

You never responded to my comment. Is 6.7 to 6.83 accurate?

Never said I was but they are not. Everyone else under the sun had rates max at 6.91%

You are sure not credible cause you said it was a fact 7.1%

That’s what Chicken’s link says.

And I have no data to dispute that interest rate was accurate on the date Chicken posted the link.
