The Concept of Mortgage Rates Follows Treasury Yields


Fixed Mortgage Rates vs. Treasury Yields


Fixed mortgage rates and Treasury yields tend to move together because fixed-income investors compare the returns they can get on government and mortgage-backed securities.


We encourage Investors to Make the Following Comparisons:


-Yields on short-term Treasuries to Certificate of Deposit (CD) and Money Market Funds.

Note:  CD's and Money Market Funds are slightly riskier for investors because they are not guaranteed.  In order to compensate for the higher risk, they offer a slightly higher interest rate.  But they are still safer than any non-government bond because they are short-term.

-Yields on long-term Treasuries to Mortgage-Backed Securities and Corporate Bonds.

Note:  Mortgages offer a higher return for more risk.  Investment Investors purchase Securities Backed by the Value of the Home Loans , e.g. Mortgage-Backed Securities.  When Treasury yields rise, investors in Mortgage-Backed Securities seek higher rates.  These investors want compensation for the greater risk.  Furthermore, there are other investors who seek even higher returns and purchase Corporate Bonds.  Important to point out that Rating Agencies such as Standard and Poor's grade companies and their bonds on the level of risk.  Therefore, these bond prices affect mortgage rates because bonds and mortgages compete for the same low-risk investors who seek a fixed return.
