Mortgage Rates ended the week about where they started as mortgage bonds failed to break above the 100 day moving average again. If you look at the mortgage bond chart below you can see mortgage bonds have been stuck trading in a sideways pattern and have been unable for several weeks to break out higher by closing above the 100 day moving average to mount a rally higher in bonds which would move mortgage interest rates lower. We are recommending LOCKING your mortgage rate on any loans closing in the next 30 days, if you are more than 45 days out you could float to see if mortgage bonds can get some momentum to break through the 100 day moving average but if bonds break below the floor of support we would recommend switching to a locking stance.
