From Matthew Graham at Mortgage News Daily: Token Improvement For Mortgage Rates

Mortgage rates improved by what could only be described as a token amount today. In other words, we're not talking about any major changes. In fact, mortgage rates themselves will be unchanged from Friday for almost any scenario. As is so often the case, we can only measure the change in terms of "effective rates" (which take upfront costs into consideration). [30YR FIXED - 5.0%]
