The rates are still looking good even though they have been on the rise in the past two weeks and it looks like a perfect time to purchase a home and/or refinance your existing mortgages. Treasuries are headed for a fourth straight weekly decline, the longest streak since December 2010, as reports this week on building permits, industrial production, retail sales and jobs all showed improvement. And now this morning the Consumer Sentiment came in better than expected with an index reading of 73.6, rising from last month’s 72.3. Yesterday, treasuries sold off after German Chancellor Angela Merkel was quoted supporting the ECB and their approach to defend the Euro by helping reduce borrowing costs for indebted countries. Yesterday the 10 year yield hit the 200 day moving average of 1.86% and has since moved back down. Currently, the 10 year yield is at 1.82% and mortgages are slightly better than yesterday afternoon’s re-price.
