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 -1 bps yesterday. This was not enough to increase mortgage rates or fees. The market experienced low volatility yesterday.
There are no domestic economic releases today.
The Fed: We hear from a bunch of Feds today with Barkin, Waller, Bostic, Barr and then Bostic again.
This morning markets are moving sideways with some room for mild improvement. Volatility has started low with no economic data to move markets.
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.
