Mortgage Rates Today Move Higher on Talk of Fed Rate Hike

30 year mortgage rates today increased to 3.43 percent, up from yesterday's average 30 year rate of 3.39 percent. Mortgage rates have been on a slight uptick since the Fed wrapped up their meeting in September. The Fed didn't increase the fed funds rate but set the stage for one rate hike in 2016. The hike is most likely to happen in the Fed's scheduled December meeting.

Mortgage rates are indirectly tied to the fed funds rate. When the fed funds rate moves higher, bond yields move higher, and most lenders set mortgage rates based on 10 year bond yields. When bond yields move higher, lenders increase their lending rates.

Although 30 year mortgage rates have trended higher the past few weeks, the uptick hasn't been that pronounced. 30 year rates are only up 9 basis points from the 2016 low set in late September and only 13 basis points from the all-time record low.
