Mortgage Rates Head Lower on Poor Job Numbers and Fears in Europe: 30 Year Mortgage Rates at 4.85%

Mortgage rates continue to head lower following Treasury yields lower on poor job numbers and concerns of the financial crisis in Europe. 30 year mortgage rate dropped from 4.96 percent to 4.85 percent over the weekend. U.S. Treasury yields were down 21 basis points on Friday on a report showing only 432,000 jobs were created in May, which was less than the 513,000 jobs analysts had expected. Fears of Hungary defaulting on its debt also sent Treasury yields down.  The ongoing concerns in Europe will drive Treasury yields and mortgage rates lower this week.
