Mortgage Rates were able to maintain the gains seen the previous week as mortgage bonds were able to rally off support and move higher. If you look at the mortgage bond chart below you can see mortgage bonds are now trading in a short term upward trend channel which moves mortgage interest rates lower. The mortgage bonds were stopped on Friday at the 25 moving average and turned lower. There is still room to the downside if mortgage bonds lose steam and will not move higher from here unless can break above the 25 day moving average. We are recommending carefully FLOATING your mortgage rate to see if mortgage bonds can make a run at breaking through the 25 day moving average which would move mortgage interest rates lower but if bonds tart to sell off then we would quickly switch to a locking at stance.
