Market Comment

Mortgage bond prices rose slightly last week pushing mortgage interest rates lower. The data was mixed. Housing starts, existing home sales, and leading economic indicators data were all higher than expected which didn’t bode well for mortgage bonds. The US Treasury will auction 2, 5, and 7-year notes this week. If foreign demand for US debt remains strong rates should stay the same or improve.
