The lull of a shortened week means not much change in rates.

Unchanged. The lull of a holiday-shortened week means not much change in rates.

Long-term mortgage rates have been trending down since the first part of November. However, 10-year Treasury yields have been holding steady for the last week. Putting the two together should lead to a week of stable mortgage rates. Next week, long-term mortgage rates should remain unchanged.

Mortgage rates will hold steady. Here's a parody based on the 1974 Morris Albert hit, "Feelings: "Feelings, nothing more than feelings/Trying to forget existing home sales loss." Be thankful for Thanksgiving week and mechanical trading.

Trend: Flat. Little should happen the week of Thanksgiving, but a thinned market could see movement because the number of people trading is small. What is impressive is that the lower rates triggered by CPI have persisted.

Michael Becker

Branch manager, Sierra Pacific Mortgage , White Marsh , Maryland

There’s a lack of economic data being released this week that could move bond markets. And with low trading volume traditionally associated with the week of Thanksgiving, I don’t expect bond markets to move much this week. So mortgage rates will be flat in the coming week.
