Mortgage rates have, if anything, risen since the Fed and the U.S. Treasury have taken the following steps:<br>(1) put F/F under conservatorship<br>(2) cut the ff rate to 1%<br>(3) dumped over a trillion of liquidity into the banking system<br>(4) bought $250-$350 worth of bank capital...at least<br>(5)....I guess that I could go on forever.<br><br>In the end, though, mortgage rates remain at all-time lows. In some sense, it is good that mortgage rates have not surged given that default rates are so high.<br><br>What is a good "free" site for British data?
