On the heels of the recent surprisingly bad U.S. GDP report, mortgage interest rates have been dropping in the last week. That GDP news has driven investors away from stocks and toward bonds which in turn has been compressing the yield on bonds. As of Friday the yield on the 10 year Treasury Note was just a tenth of a percent above its 2014 low. As a result, mortgage interest rates are testing new 2014 lows this week as well.
