Mortgage Rates 4-16-14

By Stevie Duffin Updated on 4/17/2014

What will mortgage interest rates do tomorrow? Rates should go down, according to mortgage professionals voting on Lender411's daily poll.

Weaker than expected Existing Home Sale numbers pushed mortgage bonds into positive territory this morning, but no higher than yesterday's highs. 

Yesterday: Mortgage bonds ride in positive territory midday as weak Empire State (NY Fed) manufacturing numbers are announced. The 5.61 rating discerned in March plummeted to 1.29 in April. Shaky headlines out of Ukraine are doing their part for pushing bond prices up, and suggest a glimmer of civil unrest. However, Consumer Prices are up 0.2%, adding some encouragement to investors that the economy is improving.

Market movers this week: Look out for Thursday's Initial Jobless Claims. The markets are closed for Good Friday.
