[11:30] {Threei} Given the amount of slack in the economy, its hard to see inflation as a big problem right now.

[11:30] {Threei} - Mortgages are backing up because Treasuries are backing up, expects this to impact the recovery by weakening the prospects for housing improvements. The upshot is that the Fed will be on hold longer.

[11:30] {Threei} - Believes that market would "self correct" if mortgage rates rose further.

[11:30] {Threei} - suggests the FOMC statement this week could modify the statement on holding rates at an "exceptionally low level for an extended period," to be contigent upon the economic forecast.
