Information about home mortgage loans for purchase or refinance
We had a long period of low interest rates with low inflation. Inflation was quite stable over this period, with the exception of housing inflation (which is not included in the CPI data).
Im referring to the period between 1995-2007

Schiff Report Video blog Nov 4th, 2009
Peter Schiff talking about how interest rates will be forced down the American people and possibly even in the double digits. This is UNACCEPTABLE! End the FED!

What caused this? In order for interest rates to be that high again where would the market in general be headed? I understand how the economy and interest rates generally work but 10,12 percent seems crazy. How bad would inflation be?
Are interest rates headed higher or lower? Opinion is divided in the banking community
It’s not made clear as to what sort of economic sectors the question refers to.
I know this much at least:
-Increasing interest rates
Higher mortgage costs
Lower CPI
Prevents inflation
Slows the economy (decreasing GDP)
Higher risk of recession
-Decreasing interest rates
Lower mortgage costs
Higher CPI
Steers economy towards inflation
Speeds up the economy (increasing GDP)
Lower risk of recession
what i don’t know is how this affects 2 different sectors of the economy.
Are different sectors affected differently at all?

Help! Are bonds safe?
I understand interest rates are set by central banks who monitor inflation, unemployment, and other stuff but I don’t see how lowering interest rates could reduce unemployment.
