Mortgage Rates finally moved lower last week as mortgage bonds were able to break above the 25 moving average.  If you look at the mortgage bond chart below you can see mortgage bonds are now moving higher in the short term after breaking above the 25 moving average last Tuesday and followed through on Wednesday and Thursday.  We are recommending FLOATING your mortgage rate to start the week to see if mortgage bonds can continue to rally now that we have broken above the 25 day moving average which had been a tough ceiling of resistance since the beginning of January.

Mortgage Rates ended the week slightly lower than where they started as mortgage bonds moved up to the the 25 moving average.  If you look at the mortgage bond chart below you can see mortgage bonds continue to trade in a sideways pattern and ended the day on Friday right at the 25 day moving average.  Since bonds have failed to break through the 25 day moving average the last three times they have approached the 25 day moving average, we are going to recommend LOCKING your mortgage interest rate to start the week.  Mortgage bonds have a big risk of selling off because they have failed to break through the 25 day moving average so the downside risk is much bigger than any potential gain in the bond market.

Mortgage Rates ended the week slightly higher than where they started as mortgage bonds were turned lower after failing to break through the 25 moving average.  If you look at the mortgage bond chart below you can see mortgage bonds continue to trade in a sideways pattern and ended the day on Friday near the bottom of the channel.  US Treasuries ended the day at 2.90% just  beneath resistance at 2.908%.  If yields move above this level it will cause mortgage bonds to continue to sell off and move mortgage interest rates even higher; therefore, we are recommending LOCKING Your mortgage interest rate to start the week.

Mortgage Rates have been stuck bouncing slightly higher and slightly lower for the last two weeks as mortgage bonds are stuck in a sideways trading pattern.  If you look at the mortgage bond chart below, you can see mortgage bonds have been bouncing off support which is the blue line in the graph and being turned lower from a tough ceiling of resistance which creates a sideways trading pattern.  The long term trend is still for mortgage bonds to move lower but in the short term we can float to see if mortgage bonds can move higher and break above this trading channel which will be good for mortgage interest rates.  We are recommending FLOATING Your mortgage rate to start the week.

Mortgage Rates were able to finally stabilize last week after mortgage bonds found a floor of support.  If you look at the mortgage bond chart below you can see mortgage bonds were able to bounce higher off a floor a off support (Blue Horizontal line) and end the week higher just below a ceiling of resistance.  We are recommending FLOATING your mortgage rate to start the week to see if mortgage bonds can continue to rally break through the ceiling of resistance which would move mortgage interest rates lower.  The long term trend is still for mortgage rates to move higher but in the short term we might be able to catch a slight improvement in interest rates by floating.  If mortgage bonds switch course and break below the support from last week, we will quickly switch to a locking stance.
