Less than 5% of U.S. homeowners can save money by refinancing their housing loans, the smallest proportion in the history of the mortgage bond market, as borrowing rates surge to their highest level in three years.
The increase is the first since 2018 and, combined with reductions in the mortgage and Treasury bond portfolio, it could drive 30-year home loan rates to 4.5% by year-end.
In addition to hinting at a March rate hike, the central bank this week announced an intention to have Treasury securities make up a greater share of its holdings, which has implications for securitized home loans.
