Mortgage rates were pretty much flat last week, but that was hugely STRANGE, as the stock markets totally sold off and typically with that much sell off, Mortgage Bonds would of rallied and rates should of improved, SIGNIFICANTLY. But they did not. Rates are currently worsening. With Consumer Confidence, GDP and Personal Consumption all this week, going to be a rough ride again for rates.

Mortgage rates ended higher last week by 0.02, not much, could of been worse, as the Federal Reserve indicated that they will continue to raise rates, which indicates they see inflation on the horizon.  And inflation is BAD for mortgage rate!

Mortgage rates got a reprieve last week, but only because Italy can't get its act together, if it wasn't for that, rates would of worsened for the 5th week in a row. We are still at highest levels since September 2011. This week is a biggy, with wage inflation on everyone's mind. I suspect a tepid week, until Friday when we see unemployment numbers and wage inflation numbers.

 

As anticipated, rates went up last week, and economic data and geopolitics pointed to higher rates. This week has started out kind of scary, and we have a pretty good jump in the in the 10 Year Bond Yield, and Mortgage Back Securities, which both broke through some pretty good resistance levels. It looks like most traders sold bonds and stocks, thus going into cash with the worry about additional tariffs against China and Canada. This week will also have unemployment numbers. Not going to be a good week for rates.
