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.
