Volatility Returns to Mortgage Rates
On December 11, 2009
It wouldn’t make sense if volatility “slowly returned,” but that’s not the case anyway. After a fairly boring November that saw interest rates just notch slowly lower every day.
We’re back to seeing rates change many times per day. Today turned ugly and has since returned to roughly flat on the day.
