Continued economic uncertainty and weak inflation data pushed rates lower this week. The 10-year Treasury yield fell 5 basis points this week. The 30-year mortgage rate moved with Treasury yields, dropping 7 basis points to 3.96 percent.

After fully absorbing the sharp increases in Treasury yields over the past couple of weeks, the 30-year mortgage rate has cleared the psychologically important 4 percent mark for the first time since May. Today’s survey rate stands at 4.03 percent, up 7 basis points from last week.

The 30-year mortgage rate fell 2 basis points to 3.88 percent this week. However, the majority of this Primary Mortgage Market Survey® (PMMS®) was conducted prior to Tuesday’s sell-off in the bond market which drove Treasury yields higher.

Following last week’s sharp decline, the 10-year Treasury yield rose 3 basis points this week. The 30-year mortgage rate remained relatively flat, falling 1 basis point to 3.90 percent. Mortgage rates are continuing to hold at year-to-date lows amidst ongoing economic uncertainty.

The 30-year mortgage rate rose 2 basis points over the week to 3.91 percent.
