Mortgage Market Update

Mortgage bond prices fell last week pushing mortgage interest rates higher.  Stocks continued to show strength throughout the week.  The DOW rose over 100 points, which didn’t help mortgage bonds.  There was some talk of Japan selling US debt to raise cash.  That chatter along with more hawkish remarks from the Fed regarding rates pressured bonds.  The employment report released Friday was better than expected adding to the losses seen earlier in the week.
