This Month’s Mortgage Rate Updates: September 2020

Our friends over at The Green Mortgage Team sent us this informative article on whether now is the time to lock-in your mortgage. ~Ed

It was quite a bumpy ride for rates in the past two months.

Is A Massive Gold Rally On The Horizon?

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Gold rebounded quickly and broke to higher prices after the COVID deep selling.
  • Our Fibonacci support levels for Gold are resting near $1,885, $1,815 & $1,790.
