From Matthew Graham at Mortgage News Daily: Mortgage Rates Sideways to Slightly Lower

Mortgage rates have been so little-changed in recent days that yesterday's coverage wouldn't need to be changed in order to apply perfectly today.
...
The absence of change continues to be a good thing given that rates remain very close to their lowest levels in more than 8 months.  Only a handful of recent days have been any better.  4.0% is the most prevalently-quoted conventional 30yr fixed rate on top tier scenarios, though a few of the aggressive lenders remain at 3.875%.  
Friday:
• At 8:30 AM ET: New Home Sales for May from the Census Bureau. The consensus is for an increase in sales to 590 thousand Seasonally Adjusted Annual Rate (SAAR) in May from 569 thousand in April.
