Current Pricing of FNMA 30 Year 4.5% Bond: $101.91
-12 bps (Prior Close – $102.03)
Market Update: Mortgage Backed Security (MBS) pricing is lower today from yesterday's close. For a consumer, this translates into an upfront fee increase equivalent to .125% of the loan amount in order to obtain the same rate available on yesterday for a home loan. A decrease in bond prices causes home loan rates and/or fees to increase.
Economic News: There are no economic reports for release today, and the calendar for the rest of the week is light with news. Bond trading could be volatile when the results of this week’s Treasury auctions are announced.
Recommendation: FLOAT
The decision to float or lock your interest rate can save, or cost, you thousands of dollars over the life of your new mortgage. Our recommendation won't apply in all situations, so if you have questions please contact us for clarification.
