Background
Why a lending site tracks Treasuries
Treasury yields are the risk-free floor under every other rate in the economy. A 30-year mortgage is, functionally, the 10-year yield plus a spread for credit risk, prepayment risk, servicing and lender margin. Watch the 10-year and you will see mortgage rates coming before any weekly survey reports them.
The 10-year, not the 30-year
Thirty-year mortgages are benchmarked to the 10-year note rather than the 30-year bond because borrowers refinance, move and pay early. The average 30-year mortgage is repaid in well under a decade, so its effective duration is much closer to ten years than to thirty.
Curve shape
A normal curve slopes upward: longer maturities pay more. When short yields exceed long ones the curve is inverted, which has historically preceded recessions and which compresses bank margins, since banks fund long-dated loans with short-dated deposits. The chart above shows the current shape at four points on the curve.
