Mortgage rates which are not tied to the Fed funds rate are signaling for future US economic growth. Mortgage rates fluctuate daily depending on sentiment on how the US economy will be in the future, unlike short term rates that are fixed by the Fed. As the economy gets worse, the mortgage rates drop, while currently the rates have increased with bullish predictions for the 6 months to a year in the future. Current 30-Year rates are around 6.3%, where they were only 6.06% last week and below 6% two weeks ago.

After the Microsoft/Yahoo showdown that ended in Microsoft walking away from their Yahoo merger, Investor Carl Icahn has made a huge bet that he can purchase enough Yahoo stock to overthrow Yahoo’s board and sell the company to Microsoft while netting himself a huge profit from the stock purchases. Carl Icahn has spent more than $1 billion for his over 4% stake in Yahoo’s stock. Most of Icahn’s stock has been purchased for between $24-$25 a share after the stock dropped when Microsoft walked away from the merger. If he can get control of Yahoo, and broker a deal between it and Microsoft, he has the possibility of profiting from it in the tune of $9-$10 per share he owns.

Diesel fuel continues to climb as well, creating a huge chunck of inflation in our futures. The increase in diesel fuel which is used by semi-trucks to deliver all the goods consumers use is increasing the costs for everything consumers purchase.
