A new term was offered as a description of the recent market activity; de-risking. In laymen’s terms that means investors are selling stocks and commodities in which profits have been accumulated, and of course this bring into focus the margin call issue. As prices fall, investors that purchased stocks and commodities with borrowed funds either have to come up with additional cash, or need to sell their positions to meet the margin call. This has the effect of driving prices even lower.
This morning, after a steep, early sell-off in futures, the US stock markets have found support, as many investors feel the there are now value opportunities. Bond prices are will off the best levels of the day, so if you have a loan closing within the next 30 to 45 days, you should take the opportunity to lock a great rate today. Remember, HSOA is offering a great purchase special!
Have a great weekend!
