With the start of December bringing a mortgage rates increase that brings rates to the highest they have been in two months, there are undoubtedly a lot of borrowers who will be wondering how long these new high rates will last and, more importantly, whether they are predicted to go up or down when they do finally move.

As a December 2nd report from Mortgage News Daily, states: “Mortgage rates moved higher today, bringing them to their worst levels since the morning of September 18th. The average 30yr fixed rate for the most ideally qualified borrowers was already on the move up at the end of last week, but today's weakness solidifies the move up from 4.4375 to 4.5% (best-execution).” The article goes on to say: “Even with today's losses, we're still not back up to the pre-September FOMC levels (though we're getting closer). It's an important consideration at the moment given that this week ends with the Employment Situation Report. If any one report could be a lynchpin for Fed policy, this would be it, and the next FOMC Announcement is coming up just a week and a half later. In other words, Treasuries and MBS (the "mortgage backed securities" that most directly affect rates) are once again getting in position for a potential change in Fed policy. This greatly raises the stakes for economic data this week. Rates can continue to move higher as long as the economic data stays strong.”

What this means for many borrowers is that they will have to seriously consider locking in their rates before the data is released (if they have not done so already) or risk the fact that rates may get a lot higher if the Fed decides to taper based on the information provided in the jobs report.
