From Matthew Graham at Mortgage News Daily: Mortgage Rates Drop After Yellen Speech

Mortgage rates moved decisively lower today, following a speech from Fed Chair Janet Yellen. ... In fact, the MBS gains were so steep that most lenders didn't adjust rates to fully account for the market movement. This is typical when volatility increases, for better or worse. If markets are able to hold current levels, rates would continue to drop. As it stands, the most prevalent conventional 30yr fixed quote on top tier scenarios is now easily back down to 3.75%, with many lenders pushing back into 3.625%. Just last week, there were quite a few lenders up at 3.875%.
