Mortgage Rates ended the week right about where they started after a roller coaster week of moving higher than falling lower to end the week. If you look at the mortgage bond chart below you can see mortgage bonds started the week on Monday slightly higher than they ended the previous week but sold off to end the day on Monday moving mortgage interest rates lower. Mortgage bonds continued to sell of until Wednesday after the Federal Reserve announced they would raise the Fed Funds Rate 0.25%. Mortgage bonds ended the week by closing just below a touch a ceiling of resistance that has persisted October. We are recommending LOCKING your mortgage rate to start the week because mortgage bonds are once again up against a tough a ceiling of resistance with lots of room to sell off to the downside.
