Mortgage Rates: 30 Year Jumbo Mortgage Rates Now Under 5.00%, QE3 Coming?

A bleak jobs report for May is yet another weak economic report that points to a slowdown in the U.S. economy which will keep mortgage rates low. The recovery from the Great Recession will take longer than most economists expected and as a result mortgage rates will probably go lower in the coming months. There is speculation that the Fed will have to take more measures (QE3) to help the economy recover.

10 year U.S. Treasury yields broke 3.00% this week and have remained under 3.00% as investors flee equities for the safety of U.S. Treasuries. This drove conforming 30 year mortgage rates under 4.50%. Current 30 year mortgage rates are averaging 4.46%.
