Mortgage Rates moved slightly higher last week after mortgage bonds failed to break above the 50 day and 25 day moving average and were turned lower as the stock market set another record high to end the week. If you at the mortgage bond chart below you can see mortgage bonds are stuck trading between the ceiling of resistance and floor of support shown by the blue lines. Bonds failed to rally above the blue line on Tuesday and were turned lower and sold off after the jobs report on Friday. We recommend starting the week FLOATING your mortgage rate to see if bonds can bounce off support and move higher but if bonds break below the floor of support we would quickly recommend LOCKING your mortgage interest rate.
