So my home loan interest rate has risen by 0.5% since when I closed on the house last year. It is still below 1% and while that’s not a huge deal, I was a bit surprised it rose so quickly. I’m wondering, at what point do rates become attractive enough to boost the economy a little? The yen is still at a stand still; I’ve been hoping it would rise in value a little, but I guess the rates just aren’t good enough to attract enough investors yet. I know that no one knows the future and it is all just speculation, but what is your take?
