If you think about proverb

 If you think about what has changed in the market from last year, the new factor is the possibility that Japanese rates may start to rise, so there's more room for the yen to appreciate.

 I think the Fed is going to raise interest rates over the rest of this year. I think it will go up at least 100 basis points before the year is out. So the Fed funds rate will rise from about 6 percent to at least 7 percent. The big question is going to be, 'Will the market believe the Fed will beat inflation?' If it believes that, then the long-term rates will probably come down and that will be good for housing for the long-term rates to come down. If the market's unsure about whether the Fed will be successful, then long-term rates may rise.

 The most important thing is when Japanese interest rates actually start to rise, and that's still a long way off.

 The yen has gained on the vote of confidence in the Japanese economy, and that rates may start to rise sooner than expected.

 As fixed rates rise, ARMs will become a bigger factor. The rate of increase in home values will slow or will start to stagnate.

 Money should flow into Japanese government bonds, including from foreign investors. It wouldn't be surprising for the recent rise in yen interest rates, which had been ignored by the market until now, to garner attention.

 In general, there's still a decent amount of momentum coming off the start of the year, which typically tends to support the market. Stocks should hold up well assuming we don't get a sharp rise in long-term (bond) rates here.

 We continue to climb in spite of the stock-market rise, all helped by the possibility that the Fed may no longer be continuing its raise (in interest rates). We are waiting to see if in fact that will happen.

 [Even so,] there is as yet no clear sign of a downturn in sales, despite the rise in mortgage rates over the past year, ... People are still shrugging off the rise in rates.

 If Greenspan is more hawkish, implying that rates will rise faster than thought, that may bother investors, ... If Greenspan continues to stress that rates can rise at a 'measured' pace, that may impress the market.

 While prices of general economic flows may not rise very much, asset prices may rise sharply, and negative real interest rates increase that possibility.

 Is this going to send the housing market into contraction? No. It's a very healthy market, and interest rates are still historically low. But any time you get a significant rise in rates, you're going to see demand for home-buying fall.

 The possibility that consumer spending will slow, given the current weakening level of consumer confidence, created an uneasy atmosphere in the financial markets. Combined with the growing possibility of a war with Iraq, new money flowed into the bond market, driving down yields and other interest rates. Mortgage rates were no exception.

 Japanese economic conditions are relatively good at this moment, and it will continue to be fairly robust. The Bank of Japan will start to raise rates toward the end of the year.

 The general feeling in the market is that the economy may have bottomed out and recovery is in sight. It is just that sort of atmosphere that kept mortgage rates from falling last week. But if the economy begins to overheat and inflation becomes a threat once again, mortgage rates will almost certainly begin to rise in response. Currently, however, inflation is well contained and there is ample room for the economy to recover.
