Mortgage Rates were able to move lower last week as mortgage bonds were able to rally higher as stock market sold off. If you look at the mortgage bond chart below you can see mortgage bonds hit a low on August 1st and have rallied higher since but have not been able to break above the 100 day and 50 day moving averages which are very strong overhead resistance. Bonds have benefited from a sell off in the Stock Market because of weak world currencies against the US dollar. We are recommending LOCKING your mortgage rate to the week as it will be very hard mortgage rates to move much lower from here with very strong resistance for bonds at the 100 day moving average.

Mortgage Rates ended the week slightly lower as mortgage bonds were able to rally to end the week after the July Jobs Report was released on Friday. If you look at the mortgage bond chart below for the Fannie Mae 4.0% Mortgage Bond you can see mortgage bonds were able to bounce higher off a weak floor of support created at the green horizontal line on the chart. Mortgage bonds have a very tough over head ceiling of resistance formed by 4 different resistance levels which are the 25 day moving average, 50 day moving average, 100 day moving average and a technical Fibonacci level at 101.988. There is also 40 basis point to drop before next strong level of resistance so with bonds in the middle of a touch trading range and very tough overhead resistance we are recommending LOCKING your Mortgage Rate to start the week as the risk out weighs the reward.

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.

Mortgage Rates were on a roller coaster ride last week due mostly to global trade issues with countries considering back and forth trade tariffs. If you look at the mortgage bond chart below you can see mortgage bonds hit resistance last week at the 100 day moving average and were turned lower in a sell off on Monday with the red candle. Bonds found floor of support on Tuesday at the 25 day moving average and rallied back higher into the fourth of July holiday. Mortgage Bonds followed through and rallied higher up to the 100 day moving average on Thursday ahead of the Jobs Report. After the Jobs report on Friday, bonds were able to finally break above a dual ceiling of resistance they have been battling for weeks which was formed by the 100 day moving average and a technical Fibonacci level. This is a good sign so we are recommending FLOATING your mortgage rate to start the week to see if bonds can stay above this dual layer and rally higher which would move mortgage interest rates lower.
