The Euro Zone finance ministers agreed to the second bailout package of Greece yesterday.
As a result of this good political news, the 10 Year Treasury went from 2.00% to 2.06%, which led to slightly higher mortgage rates.
The reason why the 10 Year Treasury Yield didn't go even higher is because the financial markets still worry about:
a) that the Greece bailout won't end up be successful in the long term (there might be a need for more aid to Greece).
b) the economic stability of the other indebted countries in the European Union (that they might need a bailout too).
