The Martini Factor is curated by Certified Mortgage Advisor and Raleigh Mortgage Broker Kevin Martini to provide a glimpse of what is likely to impact Raleigh mortgage rates this week.
The top 2 items likely to impact Raleigh mortgage rates this week
INFLATION REPORTS ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY
Raleigh mortgage rates may be volatile this week as the market reacts to the August inflation numbers. The CPI consumer inflation report is due out Tuesday (9/13/2022) , and the PPI wholesale inflation report is due out Wednesday (9/14/2022). The market is hoping that inflation in the U.S. may have peaked, given the recent decline in energy prices. However, this may not be the case because ongoing supply constraints may cause energy prices to go up again. It will be interesting to see how the market reacts to these inflation reports.
NEWS HEADLINES REGARDING RUSSIA-UKRAINE AND CHINA-U.S.
The Ukrainian military enjoyed some impressive successes against Russia this last weekend, and it seems like this is helping market sentiment in early trading on Monday. Meanwhile, the Biden administration is looking to curb U.S. chip and tool exports to China as part of ongoing trade and geopolitical tensions. The market may react to developments this week regarding both of these international conflicts.
