Mortgage bonds increase on poor jobs report

After the last couple of weeks of mortgage bonds dropping they are current up 41 basis points today due to a very poor jobs report.

November had 39,000 newly created jobs. Estimates were at 130,000 new jobs to be created.

Unemployment also ticked up to 9.8% from 9.6% from the month before. Expectations were for this to remain the same so that was a bit of a shock.

With this being extremely volatile if you haven't already refinanced I would suggest locking in your rate today. Rates are still very low and will rise in 2011.
