  • What Will Move Mortgage Rates In The Week Ahead?

    Mortgage rates capped off a great week in sour fashion last Friday. After four days of stock selling induced rate rallying, lenders were finally forced to reprice for the worse on Friday. While mortgage rates did rise more than they have on average, the best 30 year conventional fixed loan rate was still seen near the best levels of the year.

Following a weaker than expected 5 year Treasury note auction, market participants hurriedly sold their fixed income investments ahead of the FOMC statement. This led to MBS falling below the recent range and a few lender reprices for the worse. However, following the release of the Fed statement, Treasuries rallied, the dollar recovered losses, and stocks sold off.
