The big news this week was the implosion of the Treasury market for 10-year Notes. The yield on these has a strong impact on mortgage interest rates. Mr. Mortgage discussed this in his recent entry, 5-28 - Potential Consequences of 5.5% Mortgage Rates. He walks you through all the implications of the mortgage meltdown.
