Should i lock today.. what does all this stock /bond/ job creation talk mean on finance.yahoo?

What type of loan are you doing?

I could mean that the economy is improving a little bit and when markets are up on a good note interest rates go a little up. Usually a few basis points.

Between today and early next week it should not make that much difference overall. As previously stated in another response when the market goes up or down, most of the time rates parallel.

Often when rates increase significantly from one day to the next there is a correction a few days later - but it is literally like trying to predict what the stock market will do. We offer a free one-time float down so we usually advise locking and then if rates improve we can adjust the rate one time. (Anyone who knows what rates will be doing could make a LOT more money trading mortgage securities than as a mortgage banker...)

Wait until next week.
