The stock market extended a major rally yesterday, on hopes that the Eurozone will agree on a Greek bailout. Whether or not that rally continues depends largely upon an agreement being reached. The rally came at the expense of mortgage backed securities and treasury bonds, which have given back much of their gains over the past couple of weeks. Mortgage rates are sitting just above their all-time lows, and with the volatility of the markets, it is difficult to predict how long they will stay there. If you are going to refinance your home or purchase a new one, now is a good time to lock in a historically low rate that could save you money for years.
