en Markets are confident that the Fed will raise rates another 25 basis points at the Federal Open Market Committee meeting. The real story will be, not if the Fed raises rates, but what it says when it does it.

en I think the Fed still has no other choice but still to raise rates. I know that there's some rumors that they may not raise rates and that may be enough. There are several elements that go into this. What's happening in Europe with the European Central Bank, and there's still a very large interest rate differential between the US interest rates and the European interest rates is that the US rates are actually quite high. So the European rates have to come a bit higher. Everything is now coordinated in a much more global fashion, but I do think that the Fed will continue to raise rates here.

en In terms of the Fed, the most favorable move from the market's point of view is if they raise interest rates by 25 basis points and keep the same language. If they raise 25 basis points and sound worried about inflation the market may get demoralized.

en I think it's a bygone conclusion that they will raise rates in January, but there's also debate about whether they'll raise rates in March.

en 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.

en He might as well have just said 'we are going to raise rates by 25 basis points,

en [If you plan to be in your house for decades, on the other hand, you might consider paying points to lock in the best long-term rates. Points, which cost one-half of a percent to 1 percent of the loan and are paid up front, let you buy a better interest rate. ] If you pay points up front, it's harder to get your money back, ... When rates are high, borrowers have to pay points to trim rates any way they can, but with rates so low there is really no need to pay those points.
