@Maddog re 9:47 “Euro/USD plus 2.2 %….WTF !!!!!!”

I believe the futures are priced in US dollars, so if the USD goes down, all the other currencies naturally go up.

The USD has been dropping since the beginning of this year.

Also re your 6:16 “so why are rates falling apart”

Possibly people with money want to lock in a higher rate if they suspect rates will drop. Also wages are too low to borrow and pay for expensive things like houses. For example, an 18% mortgage on a $40,000 house was still affordable. But 7% on a $600,000 house in not so affordable, and add the property taxes that reflect the true inflation rate.
