Conventional and Government (FHA and VA) lenders set their rates based on the pricing of Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) which are traded in real time, all day in the bond market. This means rates or loan fees (mortgage pricing) moves throughout the day, being affected by a variety of economic or political events. When MBS pricing goes up, mortgage rates or pricing generally goes down. When they fall, mortgage pricing goes up.
Mortgage rates are moving sideways today. The MBS market worsened by -42 bps yesterday. This was enough to increase mortgage rates or fees. The market experienced high volatility yesterday.
Jobs: Initial Weekly Jobless Claims were higher than expected, 230K vs. est. of 200K. The more closely watched 4 week moving average increased to 210K. Continuing Claims dropped to 1.559M vs. est. of 1.733M.
Inflation: The headline PPI grew at a 9.7% pace on a YOY basis vs. expectations of 9.8%. Core (ex food and energy) increased by 8.3% vs. est. of 8.0% on YOY basis.
Treasury Sales: We have an important 30 year Treasury bond auction at 1 pm.
This morning we finally see a calmer day. Volatility is moderate as the afternoon could still see big changes.
If you are looking for the risks and benefits of locking your interest rate in today or floating your loan rate, contact your mortgage professional to discuss it with them.
