Oil prices dropped on Friday August 8, 2008 to $115 a barrell on a stronger dollar and signs of slowing growth. There have been signs around the world that demand for oil has moderated. If you looked at the trading technicals for Oil commodities, the dip below $117 a barrel is a significant break below support which shows that this is not just a pullback before it runs up again.
The drop in oil on Friday caused the Stock Market to surge higher and close up 300 points on the DOW. Mortgage Backed Securities which typically move opposite the stock market enjoyed a day of nice gains as well. This caused home loan rates to improve for the week.
