10-year Treasury yield gains are lifting some mortgage rates
Because many mortgage pricing models track the 10-year Treasury yield, rising bond yields can push borrowing costs higher for some loan types.
CNBC Real Estate explains that some consumer loans, including mortgages, are priced with interest rates that move alongside the yield on the 10-year Treasury bond.
The outlet says that when the 10-year yield rises, it can flow through to higher interest rates on those mortgage products that are pegged to that benchmark.
With the 10-year Treasury yield moving higher, bond investors have helped drive up certain interest rates borrowers may face.
