Mortgage Rates Today Increase on Strong Jobs Report: 30 Year Rates at 3.61%

A surprisingly strong July jobs report released on Friday sent bond yields up 10 basis points and as result average conforming mortgage rates today are higher. The consensus was for the creation of 100,000 jobs in July but the official number came in at 163,000 in the Department of Labor's Employment Situation Summary for July.

Bond yields rose 10 basis points on the news to 1.58 percent. Since mortgage rates offered by lenders are tied to 10 year bond yields average rates have increased as well.

Current mortgage rates on 30 year conforming loans are up to 3.61 percent. An increase from yesterday's average 30 year conforming mortgage rate of 3.58 percent. Average 30 year mortgage rates have gone up two consecutive days and up from an all-time record low of 3.55 percent set a few days ago.
