This is pretty interesting because this is the other direction than what the experts thought Operation Twist would have on the market. John Murphy pointed this out earlier on his post, then tonight I saw the St Louis Fed had updated their 30year mortgage average rates.
There are 2 things I find really interesting here but can’t explain.
1) the spread gets larger between the mortgage rates and the 10 year treasury the lower the treasury goes.
2) the 10 year treasury is going up, when most thought it would go down as a result of Operation Twist.
Note: the 30 year mortgage is updated as of 10/13/2011. The 10 year treasury is updated as of 10/11/2011 at 2.18%
Just curious what Edina Realty Mortgage rates are today… Looks like they are heading up.
