Mortgage Rates Recover After Gains of Past Weeks

After an upward move over the past two to three weeks, mortgage rates recovered a little ground today (a trend that started yesterday), ending in line with the levels we saw on Monday.

Since there was no significant market data released today that may have been a factor in rates moving downward, it still remains to be seen whether this downward move will continue or is simply a hiccup in the upward trend.
