inflation is low too, so the prospect of higher rates is being delays. Oil prices coming way down are a good example of that (although the reasons for oil coming down are more structural and have nothing to do with the inflation forecast).

no, it's coming down because the US is saturating the market and the saudis are OK with it so they are not cutting production. Add in that demand is down and you have a huge supply/demand imbalance which is why oil tanked.

what do you need to see? The US is one of the worlds largest producers of oil and we are no longer a net importer with all the production that has come online in Texas and ND. ND produces slightly over 1 million barrels per day.

Demand is down because cars are more efficient.
 
Operating Oil rigs dropped 4% just last week, they closed multiple rigs in the Gulf and ND driving the price (temporarily) up Wednesday with that bit of news. Demand in the USA went up 1% compared to last year

Oil prices might have some bearing on the Housing market, but I don't think it's huge. Only my opinion. I'm not a finance guy

sure, gas prices are down so people have more money to spend. we are already seeing the follow-thru in retail sales.

I easily save $80-100 per month and thats just me driving 25 miles to and from work each day. Pretty big for most families.

no question, I am talking about why the oil prices are dropping right NOW

P says our oil production is way up when its actually dropping, and our consumption is down, when its not, and expected to go up

straight out of that last link:

Four things are now affecting the picture. Demand is low because of weak economic activity, increased efficiency, and a growing switch away from oil to other fuels.
 
mortgage rates run parallel to every other interest rate out there, so when bonds are in demand, so are mortgage backed securities, thus lower rates
