Notes: The Statue of Liberty and Yogi bear weren't the only national figures left in limbo by the government shutdown. The corporate CFO may prefer to go home rather than try to set a 2014 budget at a time like this. The variety of ways in which the debt ceiling breach could be avoided, as well as the potential changes to the federal tax code to get a budget deal done, could make it difficult for CFOs to set a financial plan for the coming year with any conviction. That could mean instead of making tough investment choices, CFOs go on greenlighting stock buybacks as a way to spend cash on the balance sheet, as has been the case in recent years.

In a quarterly poll, institutional investors told Citigroup that European stocks are now the hottest prospects, followed by Asian stocks. American ones were third.

With rates now back on the expected upward trajectory, following a brief drop at the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, mortgage volume is likely to fall further in the coming weeks.The average contract interest rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages with conforming loan balances ($647,200 or less) increased to 4.27% from 4.09%, with points rising to 0.54 from 0.44 (including the origination fee) for loans with a 20% down payment, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association."Mortgage rates continue to be volatile due to the significant uncertainty regarding Federal Reserve policy and the situation in Ukraine. Investors are weighing the impacts of rapidly increasing inflation in the U.S. and many other parts of the world against the potential for a slowdown in economic growth due to a renewed bout of supply-chain constraints," said Joel Kan, an MBA economist.Applications to refinance a home loan, which are most sensitive to weekly rate moves, fell 3% for the week, seasonally adjusted, and were 49% lower than the same week one year ago, when rates were a full percentage point lower. The refinance share of mortgage activity decreased to 48.4% of total applications from 49.5% the previous week. Fewer and fewer borrowers can now benefit from a refinance, and while borrowers now have considerably more equity in their homes than before the Covid pandemic, most will take it out in a second loan, rather than refinance to a higher rate.watch nowVIDEO2:4002:40Mortgage rates on the rise againFast MoneyMortgage applications to purchase a home rose just 1% for the week and were 8% lower than the same week one year ago.
