Mortgage rates continued to increase this week as treasury yields have risen. The 10-year treasury note crossed the 4% threshold, increasing the likelihood and urgency of homeowners needing to refinance their current mortgages. This rise in rates is being attributed to a number of economic factors, resulting in Americans feeling the pinch and need to act fast.
The recent closures of state economies, combined with the worldwide economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19, have had a direct effect on 10-year treasury yields. Rising prices of commodities, such as oil, are also leading to an increase in the number of global investors seeking a safe haven, further driving up treasury yields.
