From Matthew Graham at Mortgage News Daily: Mortgage Rates Holding Gain, But Volatility Could Increase

Mortgage rates were flat to slightly higher today after dropping at fairly quick pace last week. In fact, if we're only examining one-day changes in rates, Thursday's drop was the quickest drop in months! That may sound slightly more impressive than it is, however. In terms of hard numbers, we're talking about roughly $22/month on a $300k loan.

Most of those savings are still intact today, but the risk of volatility remains. [Most Prevalent Rates 30YR FIXED 3.625-3.75%]
