By
Mortgage and Lending with CMG Mortgage, San Diego, CA NMLS 259027

The bizarre activity of the past few weeks continued yesterday with another rollercoaster ride for interest rates.  The morning opened terrible, dramatically improved, then managed to end up nearly where it began when all of the smoke cleared.  All eyes will be on the employment numbers this week to help determine which direction we can expect to trend moving forward.

This daily mortgage interest rate report is designed to provide Borrowers & Real Estate Profesionals with factual data regarding where rates are at any given time and what trends are propelling current mortgage pricing on any given day. Feel free to browse the library and research historical rate updates dating back nearly 2 years at www.JasonGordon.info whenever desired.  To make things easier, I have also posted a quick report on How To Read The Charts Below.

Also, make sure to learn THE TOP 10 THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT MORTGAGE RATES (to help understand the relationship between rates & fees/credits) along with THE TRUTH BEHIND MORTGAGE QUOTES (to better understand the relationship between up-front closing costs and mortgage interest rates so you don't get duped by clever advertising campaigns). Remember, we all make better decisions in life when we have the actual facts to analyze!

Advice:
With todays news, I expect the market to remain on the weak side until the unemployment numbers come out.

 

My position on MBS stays neutral.

 

Market Commentary (Dan Rawitch)

 

 

Bonds are still testing the bottom. At some point, the floor weakens and we should assume it will hold. I am waiting for the ten year stocastic indicator to turn down below 80, before calling the bottom. As I have always told you, oversold markets tend to remain oversold, until the dont.

 

Later this week, the news becomes more meaningful...I would expect some volitility around the employment numbers.

Jason,

Great charts and advice.

You are right, they hold until they don't!

We'll see if these rates remain where they are or adjust back down.

Thanks for posting!

Good news for homeowners that still maintain their ARMs tied to LIBOR. As bas we think things are in the U.S., the economic climate in Europe and Asia is worse. The dollar is still a safety harbor compared to many other foreign currencies. The LIBOR is trending down. Anyone with an ARM tied to this index should pay close attention and be aware of when their annuual ARM reset date is. They may be in for a pleasant surprise of a lower mortgage payment for the next 12 months.
