Mortgage Rates moved slightly higher last week as mortgage bonds sold off after Federal Reserve announced the “Great Unwind” of its balance sheet. If you look at the mortgage bond chart below, you can see the trend is for mortgage bonds to sell off and move rates higher but on Friday bonds were able to bounce off support and close just below the 50 day moving average. The technical trading patterns point to bond prices moving higher which would move interest rates lower so we are recommending FLOATING your mortgage rate to start the week.
