Mortgage rates rose fairly sharply to begin the new month as a large corporate bond sale indirectly hurt the bonds that dictate mortgage rates. When a company (in today's case, pharmaceutical giant Actavis) issues debt, it can hurt mortgage rates in two...

Mortgage rates were slightly higher today, undoing the modest gains seen yesterday, but leaving the more significant drop from Tuesday intact. 3.75% remains the most prevalently-quoted conforming 30yr fixed rate for top tier scenarios, though a few lenders...

Mortgage rates had a bad Valentines Day. It's not that anything happened on that Saturday. Indeed, lenders weren't even open. It's just that things changed significantly by the time US markets reopened on Tuesday, with rates moving higher at the fastest...

Mortgage rates had their best day of the month today following Fed Chair Yellen's testimony before the Senate Banking Committee. That's part of a 2-day semi-annual update that the Fed gives to congress. In this modern electronic age, it's a wholly unnecessary...

Mortgage rates ended the day in almost perfectly unchanged territory versus Friday's despite trading levels improving in the secondary mortgage market. In other words, the mortgage-backed-securities that dictate lender's rate sheets suggested a modest...

Mortgage rates are ending the day in very similar territory to yesterday's latest levels but have had something of a wild ride between now and then. At issue is the ongoing drama between Greece and its Eurozone creditors. There was some risk heading into...

Mortgage rates got hit hard today , rising at the fastest day-over-day pace since November 8th 2013. As of today, this also makes February the worst month for rates since May 2013, and the most abrupt month-over-month reversal since January 2009. That...
