From Matthew Graham at Mortgage News Daily: Mortgage Rates Slightly Higher

Mortgage rates moved slightly higher after a strong run to the lowest levels of the year as of last Friday. ... For now, rates are still much closer to 2017's lows. Most borrowers would be quoted the same rate as last Friday, but with slightly higher upfront costs today. The average lender continues to quote 4.125% on top tier scenarios, though there are a few lenders at 4.0% and 4.25%.
