Mortgage Rate remain the same today as they were last Friday (see chart below), In week-over-week terms, rates were still decidedly higher at the beginning of the day on Thursday 9-9-2021. It wasn’t until the Thursday afternoon’s 30yr bond auction that the entire bond market improved enough for mortgage to improve mid-day.

If you want to have your finger on the pulse of daily Mortgage Rate movement just watch the 10yr Treasury Yield and mortgage rates move in tandem. (*remember = mortgage rates move UP/DOWN based on the buying and selling of Mortgage Backed Securities or MBS. It’s a supply vs demand equation).

Here is a link you can bookmark to watch the 10yr TSY on your phone: https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/US10Y (the CNBC app is free and easier to watch than via your browser)

Why do Treasury auctions matter to mortgage rates?  Treasuries and MBS (mortgage-backed securities–the bonds that most directly affect mortgage rates) are both part of the bond market.  They correlate quite well for a variety of reasons (not the least of which being that Treasuries are the risk-free starting point against which every dollar-denominated bond investment is measured).  As such, when Treasuries have a good day, MBS (and thus, mortgage rates) tend to have at least a decent day.  Today (like yesterday) was no exception.

Bottom Line: Rate are most likely to worsen by Monday due to today’s Producer Inflation Index accelerated in August as wholesale price ROSE to a RECORD 8.3% from a year ago.  LOCK!
