Refinance Rates Today Higher as 10 Year Bond Yields Increase 8 Basis Points

Average mortgage rates and refinance rates today increased on higher bond yields. Treasury Yields rallied on Friday on the news that the European Union has finally put into place a plan to help with the debt issue. Officials agreed to allow the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) to directly recapitalize banks. Up until this point Germany insisted the any monies flowed through the governments which increased their debt-to-GDP ratios.

Today's refinance rates on 30 year conforming loans are averaging 3.69 percent, an increase from last week's average 30 year refinance rate of 3.63 percent. Average refinancing rates last week hit record lows and will probably head back down this coming week.

Refinance rates on 15 year conforming home loans are now back above 3.00 percent which is the first time in four week's that rates are above 3.00 percent. Current refinance rates on 15 year mortgages are averaging 3.04 percent, up from last week's average 15 year refi rate of 2.97 percent.
