For the 7 day period ending 3.10.22, 10 Year Treasury rates increased 12bp while mortgage rates increased 9bp. This caused the net spread between the two to decrease 3bp to 39bp above the normal spread of 168bp.
It appears the mortgage market is positioned for anticipated rate increases by the Fed on 3.15.22.
