August 13, 2007 Dear Property Owners, Everyone is talking about interest rates, so let's take a look at what Wells Fargo has to say on the subject. According to an August 3rd report by Wells Fargo Financial Products, Economic and Interest Rate Outlook, there are increasing bets that the Fed will be under some pressure to lower interest rates in order to stimulate growth again. For the past few months, the Federal Open Market Committee has been asserting its influence to curb inflation with its increased and/or steady federal funds rate. However, moving forward, it is easy to find growing evidence of less inflationary risk when looking at some of the economic factors involved: unemployment rate is up slightly, the Institute for Supply Management's reports that the Non-Manufacturing and Manufacturing Indexes are down, the Chicago Purchasing Managers' index is down, and the housing market is still in slowdown. If this trend continues alongside increasing losses in mortgage-backed bonds, there will be a case for the Fed to seriously consider a slight rate cut in the Fall to stimulate growth. To read the full report “Economic and Interest Rate Outlook ” Wells Fargo Financial Products, August 3, 2007, contact me and I'd be happy to fax or email the report to you.
