Delaware mortgage rates set another all-time record low last week but then end the week higher on some “good” economic news released on Thursday and Friday. The big market mover last week was the release of news that European Central Bank (ECB) Chief Mario Draghi stated ECB will do whatever it takes to defend the Euro which means bailing out Greece and Spain. This news caused the stock market to rally and pulled money out of mortgage bonds. This also came with the release of some other positive news which was initial jobless claims fell 35,000 in the latest week to 353,000. This was much lower than what was expected. Consumer Sentiment increased for July 2012 from July 2011 but dropped from June 2012. Durable Orders rose by 1.6% which was also much higher than expected. All of this combined caused Delaware home loan rates to rise on Thursday and Friday as the bond market sold off.
