Deposit Reserve Ratio Again Lowered Against Slow Growth
- Tracked by: Video for Interest Rates (Track This!), 1 day ago
- permalink
Follow us on TWITTER: twitter.com Like us on FACEBOOK: www.facebook.com China's Mainland Central Bank has announced a reduction in the required deposit reserve ratio, starting from May 18. Official data for April shows a serious slow of economic growth—all economic indexes were far from expected. The Central Bank's policy is being widely read as an aim to increase currency supply and stimulate economic growth. Experts warn however, that China's economic problem is not a problem of currency. Following an initial reduction of 0.5% in February, the Mainland Central Bank announced on May 12 that they will be reducing the RMB deposit reserve ratio by a further 0.5% effect on May 18. Thus, the deposit reserve fund rate will be reduced to 20%. China's National Bureau of Statistics data shows that in April the Mainland's industries increased by 9.3% from last year, well below the expected 12.2%. Increases in other areas—RMB loans, fixed assets investment, import and export—are all below expected, indicating an overall slowdown of China's economic growth. NTD economy critic, Jie Sen: "Obviously China is resorting to increasing its currency circulation to stimulate economy. Lowering the deposit reserve ratio means increasing the currency on market, so banks will have more money to loan. China hopes this will stimulate the economy." Jie Sen points out that China's economic problem is not one of having insufficient money. Jie Sen: "China's problem is not money but industrial <b>...</b>From: ChinaForbiddenNewsViews: 11

Deciding What Type of Loan Fits You - South Bend Home Loan
- Tracked by: Video for Interest Rates (Track This!), 1 day ago
- permalink
www.SouthBendHomeLoan.com Deciding What Type of Loan Fits You - South Bend Home Loan Hi. My name is Lori Hiscock with Ruoff Home mortgage. There are several type of loan options out there, all catered to different homebuyer needs. Most homebuyers use a conventional mortgage or an FHA mortgage, so let's take some time to learn about the pros and cons of these two options so that you can decide which might be the better fit for you. Most home buyers go to a bank to get a mortgage to buy their new home. Typically, though, banks don't have enough money in-house to make these loans over and over again. To fix that, they go to the secondary market where they sell the mortgages to investors who give them the money to go back to home buyers and make more loans. This is the process with your typical conventional mortgage. A FHA loan works similarly, except in this case, the Federal Housing Administration, which is a part of Housing and Urban Development, jumps into the game and says it will insure the mortgage so that -- if the homebuyer doesn't pay it back -- FHA will. This makes the investors happy, so they are willing to lend based on the more flexible rules that FHA allows. Because of that, FHA loans are often good options for buyers who need a little more flexibility when it comes to down payment, credit history or income. So, let's compare the two options. The pluses on the FHA side are that it typically requires a lower down payment, it can work better with a credit history <b>...</b>From: SouthBendHomeLoanViews: 2 0 ratingsTime: 03:15 More in Education

FederalMortgageServices.com What to Know Before You Apply For a Home Loan Buying a home is a huge decision and there is a lot to learn, and consider, before you begin the process of shopping for your dream home. First and foremost, being prepared will help make the home-buying process far easier than it would be otherwise. The following are a number of things you should keep in mind before you apply for your home mortgage: 1. Learn the mortgage lingo -- There are a number of different types of mortgages out there. Each of these mortgage types offer unique benefits. You need to learn the basics about fixed-rate mortgages, adjustable-rate mortgages, FHA, and VA mortgages. Further, you absolutely have to understand how mortgage interest rates impact your monthly payments -- and overall loan payment. Lastly, understand as much as you can about points and PMI. 2. Determine how much you can afford -- There are hundreds of mortgage calculators available to you on the Internet. You should use one to figure out just what you think you can afford on a house including taxes and insurance. Also, consider making a higher down payment if you can afford it. The higher the down payment, the more your mortgage payment will be reduced. 3. Select your lender carefully -- Using a trusted lender is extremely important. Make sure you look for solid credentials and only deal with a lending company that is reputable. If you are working with a mortgage broker, be sure that they also have a good <b>...</b>Views: 0 0 ratingsTime: 04:04 More in Howto & Style

Fixed or Variable Rate Mortgage - FederalMortgageServices.com

FederalMortgageServices.com Fixed or Variable Rate Mortgage With the biggest investment of your life, a home loan, staring you in the face, you have the task of determining what will give you the best chance at peace of mind when you secure that mortgage: A fixed-rate mortgage or a variable-rate mortgage. Both have their advantages and disadvantages and the trick is determining what will work to your economic advantage. So, the question you have to ask yourself is how long you think you need to pay off this home loan. Will this be a 5-year or a 25-year home loan? Or will it be somewhere in the middle? What kind of mortgage will offer the best savings? A fixed-rate mortgage can give you greater security with a long term home loan. As lending rates can change over time with current economic forces, the fixed-rate mortgage can protect you against a sudden rise in interest rates making life a little bit easier when it comes to making those monthly mortgage payments. The downside to that type of home loan is that sometimes, when economic conditions are right, interest rates go down as lenders try to attract potential new homeowners to finance that home loan with their institutions. A fixed-rate locks you out of those bargain lending rates. The variable-rate mortgage, as its name suggests, allows the homeowner to take advantage of the lowest interest rates available. Interest on the home loan is calculated on a continuous basis at the current prime rate with a pre-calculated <b>...</b>Views: 0 0 ratingsTime: 02:31 More in Howto & Style

Ronald Stöferle and Alasdair Macleod on German gold, Europe and precious metals price action
- Tracked by: Video for Interest Rates (Track This!), 2 days ago
- permalink
Subscribe to our newsletter at www.goldmoney.com In this video podcast, Ronald-Peter Stöferle -- gold analyst at Erste Bank and writer of the gold report "In GOLD we TRUST" -- and Alasdair Macleod of the GoldMoney Foundation talk about the current bearish sentiment towards gold, economic problems and political developments in the eurozone and much more. According to Stöferle's data, sentiment towards gold is currently at its most bearish level in the last few years. From a contrarian standpoint this could be seen as a positive sign for an impending bottom and more generally for a healthy bull run which is still far from its final euphoric stage. Stöferle points out that fundamentally nothing has changed, since underlying issues of over-indebtedness are far from being resolved. He also emphasises that real interest rates are still in negative territory. Both men agree that gold has to be viewed as a means of financial insurance rather than a "risk asset" as the financial media often classifies it. Stöferle explains that gold is a currency which cannot be devalued, and which has no liabilities or counterparty risk attached to it. Stöferle sees the recent European elections as likely to herald a shift away from austerity towards "economic stimulus" measures. He does not believe that these Keynesian policies will succeed, and thinks that governments will move further towards financial repression.
