Julie C. writes, “Did you know that every “c” in “Pacific Ocean” is pronounced differently?” As I head to Northern California, which borders the Pacific, this morning, I recalled this thought: “Sometimes you meet someone and you know from the first moment that you want to spend your whole life without them.” I am sure that people don’t feel that way about loanDepot’s Anthony Hsieh, although the LD board of directors is wary. Recall that Anthony was forced out of his position as Executive Chairman a month ago, but given that he’s the founder of the company, and still a large stockholder, he has sway and was in the news this week about “shaking up” LD’s board.

This morning I head to Kansas, greeted by the news that Southwest is raising drink fees for the holidays. Has the “Let’s circle back after the holidays” season officially begun in your office or in your meetings with vendors? Chortles aside, one of the discussion topics in KC will certainly be the impending move in credit prices as lenders everywhere move toward charging borrowers up front. Whether the cost change is driven by Fair Isacc or the credit bureaus, and then being passed along by the CRAs, it doesn’t matter. It’s coming, and the jungle drums are saying the price changes will impact soft credit pulls, which (or course) many lenders implemented to reduce their costs with the amount of credit reports run as it’s cheaper than the full hard credit pull. Some lenders may use Freddie or Fannie AUS.

CPI Coming in Hot. Bonds Feeling The Burn

It is a very straightforward morning for the bond market, but not in any sort of pleasant way.  There was a lot at stake heading into today's inflation data and the results carried clear implications for bonds.  Sadly, the implications are not great.  Core monthly inflation came in at 0.4% versus a 0.3% forecast.  Year over year numbers stayed at 3.9% rather than falling to the 3.7% forecast (extra decimals in the underlying numbers explain why we can see a 0.2% miss in annual but only a 0.1% miss in monthly).  Bonds shot higher immediately and somewhat significantly--easily breaking the 4.19% ceiling in 10yr Treasury yields.   This only increases the burden of proof on downbeat economic data to hearken a turning point in inflation. With a strong jobs report in the rearview, we're basically starting at square one. http://dlvr.it/T2hb0r
