From Matthew Graham at MortgageNewsDaily: Mortgage Rates Snap Back to Lower Levels

Mortgage rates reacted somewhat harshly to an incredibly strong jobs report last Friday. … There will always be some obligatory response to a report as strong as that. That was indeed the case on Friday and mortgage lenders were a bit defensive in setting rates. Fortunately, the underlying bond market improved throughout the day and held onto that improvement today. As such, lenders were willing to offer much lower rates versus Friday.
