Interest rates, specifically mortgage interest rates, are becoming increasingly difficult to predict as the financial markets have changed.This is what we know: the Federal Reserve and other governing bodies don't like inflation.

It has been a good measuring stick and if it is moving higher, chances are mortgage rates will do the same.Jayson Stebbins is a 23 year veteran of the mortgage banking industry.
