Delaware Mortgage Rates moved higher all week last week to end the week about where rates were in May 2014. The fear that the Feds will raise the short term interest rates sooner rather than later sparked a sell-off in the Bond Market as well as the Stock Market which caused interest rates to move higher. If you look at the mortgage bond chart below, you can see that each day last week closed lower than the date before with the series of red candles. Mortgage bonds broke beneath floors of support and have stopped just above the 200 days moving average. If bonds stop here next week they could rally higher but there is still some downside before hit the next floor of support and the short term trend is for bonds to continue to fall. Therefore we are continuing to recommend LOCKING your Delaware Mortgage Rate if closing in the next couple days to several weeks as the risk is still for rates to move higher. We do see a recovery in bonds as they are currently oversold but the recovery could be several weeks down the road.
