Interest Rates - current sentiment and future forecast

I was browsing the web this morning searching for interest rate news and came across this very interesting website in the US

The site is called bankrate.com and each week they survey mortgage experts to gauge the state of mortgage rates over the next 30 to 45 days: Will rates rise, fall or remain relatively unchanged?

This week (March 29 - April 4) the experts say: Rates probably aren't going anywhere.

PANEL:

Down: 29%
Up: 21%
Unchanged: 50%

This week, half of the panelists believe mortgage rates will remain relatively unchanged (plus or minus 2 basis points) over the next 35 to 45 days. The rest are evenly split among those who think rates will rise and those who believe rates will fall.

They even graph paste results so you may see trends in what the 'experts' are thinking and predicting.

This may be something that you want to look at on a regular basis as the experts tend to know where the rates are heading.

You may see the current rates here in Canada and the best mortgage interest rates at this page
