The future direction of mortgage rates will undoubtedly be higher. As the economic recovery gains traction interest rates will head higher. Another factor that will drive interest rates higher is China hinted over the weekend that it would allow a gradual rise in the value of the renminbi. As a result, the Chinese Currency rose to its highest level in almost two years. A stronger renminbi will increase the purchasing power of the average Chinese consumer, raising demand for goods the world over.
