Federal Reserve & Low Mortgage Rates

No Change in Mortgage Rates (Yet)

I have just received the following telegram from my generous daddy. It says, 'Dear Jack: Don't buy a single vote more than necessary. I'll be damned if I'm going to pay for a landslide.

--John F. Kennedy

Almost a month after The Federal Reserve completed its massive, $1.2 trillion purchase of mortgage securities, 30-year mortgage rates are about 5%.

What were they prior to March 31?

About 5%.

Which begs the question: did The Fed really need to spend all that money?
