If you have wondered why mortgage rates have been climbing, falling, and climbing again, here is a great view into the current mortgage backed securities market…

Mortgage backed securities have done three virtual freefalls in the last week and a half, only 8 trading days. Since MBS pricing is what drives mortgage rates, those freefalls resulted in spikes higher in mortgage rates and the subsequent climbs in MBS prices have brought rates down a bit and set up the next “dive”.
