Not to be a smart ass, but the 10-year Treasury yield has nothing to do with mortgage rates.
Mortgage rates are directly tied to Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS) which trade on the bond market. Many times the MBS go in one direction, while the 10-year Treasury goes another.
It's a common misconception, and even people on CNBC who are supposed to know this incorrectly say that the 10-year treasury going up is causing rates to increase.
What caused MBS to trade lower were the fears of global inflation and the market being nervous about the foreign Central Bank rate increases.
Also, Asian investors are buying less US bonds, which is bad because they have been huge purchasers of them in the past.
