Mortgage rates moved higher over the past several days following bond yields higher. 30 year mortgage rates today are averaging 4.30%, up from yesterday's average 30 year mortgage rate of 4.25%. 30 year rates made an all-time low of 4.14% this past Monday but have since moved higher. The future direction of rates is probably lower since the Commerce Department announced this morning that 2nd quarter GDP came in at 1%, a slower pace then previously estimated, bring growth down to a meager 0.7% for the first half of 2011.

Another factor besides a slowing economy that will drive mortgage rates lower is the Fed. Chairman Ben Bernanke is giving a speech today on the economy and the markets are wondering if Bernanke will announce a new stimulus plan, possibly driving interest rates lower to revive the economy.
