10 Year Treasury Rate Breaks Support; Mortgage Rates Lower
Posted on | July 8, 2009 | 2 Comments
The 10 year treasury rate broke through the 50 day moving average with a vengeance today. The 10 year was down almost 5% in its last trade. This means that it is likely headed all the way to the 200 day moving average which possibly means average mortgage rates under 5% soon. Lets see how the rest of the week goes, but it looks like lower mortgage rates are coming!
I haven’t been at my computer much today, but what happened at 1:00 pm to send the 10 year so much lower? Anyone who knows, please inform us by commenting below. I will also try to do some research myself and update you later tonight. UPDATE: Here is the explanation.
Over the long term, I see higher interest rates as explained in my shorting treasuries article, but for now, it looks like short term mortgage rates are sinking to new lows.

Uh…of course mortgage rates are going to go up “long term” – they’re at historic lows.
Looks like you were a bit off on your previous predictions, my friend.

You are correct, I was quite wrong in my predictions! Making short term predictions are very hard as there are so many factors. Making long term predictions is much more to my liking!
