Data dive: The relative improvement of recent economic data--which has fueled optimism for a recovery--is also partly responsible for the rise in mortgage rates. "The data is not good yet, but it is at least less bad," says Richard Moody, the chief economist at Forward Capital. Over the fall and winter, 10-year treasury yields were depressed by the economic panic that boosted demand for ultrasafe government debt. But a growing sense of confidence has directed many investors to more risky assets like stocks instead of treasury bonds. As a result, treasury yields have increased, pushing mortgage rates higher. However, if future economic reports come in weaker than expected, investors could return to the safety of treasury bonds. "For example, next month's job numbers are probably going to be measurably worse than the last one," Zandi says, adding "and that will be a reminder" that the economy's troubles are not over yet.

NYC new Congestion Pricing or Fees or Tax depending on which side of the fence you are on <<< Global Warming

Read on PhysOrg.com The most controversial idea in the plan ( NYC Plan 2030 ), from the mayor's Office of Long-term Planning and Sustainability , is a proposal to charge motorists for driving into Manhattan below 86th Street on weekdays from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Trucks would be charged $21 a day and cars would be charged $8, on top of the city's already expensive parking. It is similar to a system that London (Congestion Charge) has used since 2003, and officials there say it has significantly reduced congestion. The scheme applauded by environmentalists and alternative transportation groups , but is politically tricky for New York City because it would have to be enacted by the state Legislature , and many lawmakers from outer boroughs and the suburbs may not support it.
