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 getting some support today. The MBS market improved by +5 bps yesterday. This was not enough to decrease mortgage rates or fees. The market experienced moderate volatility yesterday.
Optimism: The August NFIB Small Business Optimism Index dropped from 93.7 to 91.2.
Treasury Auction: We kick off three days of dumping our debt into the marketplace with today's shorter term 3 year Treasury note auction at 1 pm ET.
This morning markets are getting some support on the NFIB data. Volatility has started at moderate levels with most waiting on tomorrow's data.
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.
