This week Brian discusses how earlier this year, mortgage rates followed the 10-year Treasury yield lower to register an all-time low value of 3.3%. Fueled by additional purchases of mortgage-backed securities (MBS) by the Fed, mortgage spreads have narrowed while Treasury yields remain at depressed levels, only recently trading above 1%. As shown in the LPL Chart of the Day, the average rate on a 30-year fixed rate mortgage has continued to fall, now trading at just 2.88% according to Bankrate.
