It’s Super Bowl preseason — the Fed Super Bowl — and here’s how the teams are lining up. An\u00a0MVP<\/a>\u00a0from Team Dove has yet to\u00a0tip his hand, so we don’t know if he’s ready to raise interest rates. On Team Hawk, an offensive lineman<\/a>\u00a0who does<\/em> back a rate hike will give a speech tomorrow reminding people that, yes, he still backs a rate hike.
\nRate Watch<\/a> is counting down to\u00a0Sept. 17, when we’ll get the final score on Hawks v. Doves. A Fed vote to raise rates means the Hawks have won. If the Doves have their way, the central bank will stay the course.
\nWhile the players run their drills, mortgage rates are bumping around.\u00a0The average cost of a 30-year, fixed-rate home loan ticked up last\u00a0week\u00a0to 3.89 percent, according to Freddie Mac<\/a>‘s\u00a0survey of lenders, a widely watched barometer of the market.
\n\"mortgage<\/a>
\nWhat do mortgage rates have to do with the Fed? Not much really. You’ve been hearing a lot about both because financial markets and their pundits are feverish with anticipation about the upcoming Fed game — er, meeting. No matter what the central bank does, markets will react.
\nWhen markets react, they frequently move mortgage rates. We saw that over the last couple weeks, when anxiety about China sent borrowing costs down.\u00a0Tomorrow we\u2019ll get news on job creation, which will make markets move again.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\nWhat’s next is anyone’s guess.\u00a0Things are so uncertain that one economist has resorted to quoting Bette Davis to explain the Fed, China and stock-market delirium.
\n“Fasten your seat belts. It’s going to be a bumpy night,” Freddie Chief Economist Sean Becketti said<\/a>. “There won’t be a clear direction for mortgage rates until the Fed makes its September decision, at the earliest.”
\nTrue, but keep the big picture in mind. Mortgages are still cheaper than they were a year ago (4.1 percent) and not far from the record-low 3.31 percent set in November 2012.
