WeeklyBasis 08/11/03: Rates At 1-Year High and 30-Year Lows

 

Rates for this week have improved by about a quarter-point, please see snapshot below for August 11, 2003. Investors have continued to reduce Treasury holdings in preparation for this Tuesday’s Fed meeting, which has brought rates up on 30- and 15-year loans. ARM programs are holding at very favorable lows. If you have read the “rates at one-year high” press stories, even though rates in June were at 45-year lows, rates now are still at 30-year lows.
