Average mortgage rates today are mixed as markets rally on GDP news and hopes of further economic stimulus from the Federal Reserve. Current mortgage rates are poised to move higher since 10 year bond yields are up a steep 8 basis points so far today.

We expect mortgage rates to move up at least 5 basis points over the weekend since bond yields are higher today. Mortgage rates have been subjected to the whims of the markets as investors react to every positive and negative piece of economic data that is released.
