The most recent factor driving mortgage rates lower are the problems in Europe.  The problems started with Greece government debt, a decline in the euro and now European bank concerns. As the issues mount in Europe, investors have been buying U.S. Treasuries driving 10 year yields down to 3.15 percent. Lower Treasury yields drive mortgage rates lower.
