NON-ADMINISTERED MORTGAGES • Capped Rate Mortgages • Collared Mortgages • Base Rate Tracker Mortgages • Manhattan Mortgage • Stateside Mortgage • Fixed Rate Mortgages
WHY ARE YIELD CURVES IMPORTANT? • If a lender wants to issue a Fixed Rate Mortgage (FRM) it has 3 choices • Hedge with a fixed rate deposit • Run unhedged and risk interest rates rising and impacting profitability • Hedge the fixed rate exposure by entering into a swap with a bank The majority of Fixed Rate Capped/Collared Mortgages in excess of 2 years are swapped and hence any movement in the yield curve will be reflected by a change in pricing of the FRMs
MPC MINUTES • Surprising slowdown in both residential real estate & household consumption • Surprising weakness in the labour market • Pay pressure subdued • Worry about sterling depreciation • Weaker outlook for US economy • Will be watching the mortgage market closely to see how lower FRM’s affect the housing market Available on www.bankofengland.co.uk/mpc
Interest rate yield curves are the point where the BULLS meet the BEARS • They are NOT a prediction of where interest rates will be at a future point in time
Statistically, the MPC move rates more often in the months where there is an inflation report ie February, May, August and November
