WEEKLY RATE – Interest Rates Float Around 8 Month Lows
Rates and the bond market have stayed in a relatively narrow range for the past month. Interest rates continue to float right around 8 month lows – the lowest levels since before the election.
That being said, prospects for rates moving higher on the horizon is still likely with the FED likely to raise the Federal Funds rate again this year.
The Mortgage Backed Security (MBS) market traded up + 6 bps last week and is trading down – 20 bps so far this week. Currently, a well qualified buyer can get a 30 year fixed rate in the 3%’s with less than a point – a great historical rate.
