Investor's Business Daily - The Mortgage Bankers Association&#39;s applications index rose a seasonally adjusted 1.3% to 622.9 in the week ended Aug. 31, but multiple applications and refilings caused by recent credit problems may have played a role. Activity could slow on higher interest rates. The MBA said a dearth of demand for short-term loans sent 1-year ARM rates to 6.52%, near week-ago levels but well above longer-term rates. Average 30-year mortgages edged up to 6.42% from 6.41%. ARMs made up just 12.6% of applications in the week, down from more than 30% just a few weeks ago.

Investor's Business Daily - For the week ended Aug. 31, the Economic Cycle Research Institute&#39;s Weekly Leading Index rose to 140.4 from 139.2 the prior week after declining for 6 straight weeks. Higher stocks, better housing activity and jobless claims helped weekly numbers. But the index&#39;s annualized growth rate fell to 0.6% from 1.3% the prior week. That&#39;s a 43-week low, but not yet a signal that recession is on the way, the ECRI said.
