30 Year Mortgage Rates Hit New Record Low of 3.62% Today

Average mortgage rates are once again lower today as bond yields hover just above record lows. Fixed conforming 30 year mortgage rates today are averaging 3.62 percent, down from last week's average 30 year mortgage rate of 3.67 percent. Markets have been jittery on the debt issues in Europe and the ratings downgrade of a slew of banks by Moody's Investor Services.

Current 10 year Treasury yields which hit a high of 1.68 percent on Wednesday retreated back down to 1.60 percent yesterday and are up 5 basis points this morning at 1.67 percent. The Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said the Fed will continue the Twist (buying long term bonds and selling short term bonds) to drive interest rates lower.

The Fed said it would extend its holdings of long-term government bonds by $267 billion continuing the effort to bring down borrowing costs. Ben also said the Federal Reserve was ready to take more action if needed in the statement following its two-day meeting this past week.
