Last week ended with back-to-back tough days for mortgage rates, which essentially negated the improvements from earlier in the week. Both days saw pricing worsen by over 20 basis points. Today has begun in turbulent fashion, with rates showing a slight improvement overall.

Advice:
The difference between yields on Treasury 10-year notes and inflation-linked securities widened to the most in five months amid speculation the Federal Reserve’s efforts to spur the economy will send costs higher. The so-called break-even rate climbed for a fifth day after a government report last week showed U.S. employers added fewer jobs than economists forecast, boosting speculation the Fed will increase asset purchases to support the economy. U.S. policy makers next meet on Sept. 12-13, while the government is scheduled to sell $66 billion of Treasuries over three days starting tomorrow.
