08-07-2023 “On Melancholy Hill” May Lower Mortgage Rates

----------------------- Up on Melancholy Hill, There's a data tree.  Are they here for bears or bulls?
The curve believes that the Fed’s restrictive policy will constrain growth and choke off inflation.  Interpreted data drive rates and yield spreads.As a result, Friday’s Job report gives the Bulls a reason to reverse the bear trend this month and then focus on getting 30 yr mortgage rates back below 6%.
It takes more data for bulls to reach nirvana, but do I hear sleighbells?Are bulls looking out on the curve for a Christmas dream?-------------------------------Song:  On Melancholy Hill (2010)  GorillazGenre:  Synth-pop, new wave, bubblegum pophttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04mfKJWDSzI
