Biden says he wants 4 more years to finish the job. Like killing off the mortgage market completely, Joe?

Mortgage applications increased 2.8 percent from one week earlier, according to data from the Mortgage Bankers Association’s (MBA) Weekly Mortgage Applications Survey for the week ending November 10, 2023.

The Market Composite Index, a measure of mortgage loan application volume, increased 2.8 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis from one week earlier. On an unadjusted basis, the Index increased 0.4 percent compared with the previous week. The seasonally adjusted Purchase Index increased 3 percent from one week earlier. The unadjusted Purchase Index decreased 0.3 percent compared with the previous week and was 12 percent lower than the same week one year ago.

The Refinance Index increased 2 percent from the previous week and was 7 percent higher than the same week one year ago

Of course, mortgage rates have been declining slightly over the past few weeks, but remain up 172% under Biden.

At least the stock market is booming after the inflation report signalled that The Fed is likely done with rate hikes.

On the gold front, we are seeing evidence of contango.

Bitcoin? Down a wee bit after a staggering rise in price over the past year.
