Mortgage Rates continued to move higher last week as mortgage bonds broke through another floor of support. If you look at the mortgage bond chart below you can see the trend is for mortgage bonds to sell off in the short term and the long term. Mortgage bonds broke out of a sideways trading channel to the downside because Treasury Yields have spike higher forcing mortgage bonds to sell off. Mortgage bonds are sitting another floor of support that doesn’t seem likely to hold so we are continuing to recommend LOCKING your mortgage rate to start the week.
