Dick LepreSenior loan officer, RPM Mortgage, San FranciscoThe daily tech was overbought to the extreme and is now reversing to bearish. We should see two weeks of higher yields and rates. This cycle had pronounced intraday techs, which can be viewed as ominous of even lower yields the next time we have a daily bullish cycle. One could speculate that we will have a very flat yield curve and, while maybe not a double-dip recession, extremely low GDP growth. Inflation data on May 12-13 are important in the short term.
