Understanding Interest Rates and Factors That Affect Rates
Who determines interest rates? It's not so much who as it is what, as there is a broad range of factors that affect interest rates. To make things as simple as possible, the interest rate is what is charged by the lender, which is their incentive for lending the cash. Mortgages are paired together to form mortgage backed securities which in turn are sold on the market. Interest prices will fluctuate daily when the stock market is open as a result of mortgage bonds being sold. The basic principle behind these daily fluctuations are supply and demand. Changes in the stock market or economy can cause a change in interest rates. In general, when the economy is doing very well, loan interest rates are higher, and when the economy is not doing well, interest rates are lower. However, in 2016 mortgage rates are very low while the economy is doing well, this is because many of the mortgage bonds on the market are being purchased (demand).
