Over the course of the past two days, the average conforming 30yr fixed rate has moved down to the lowest levels since early February for most lenders. In nuts and bolts terms, that’s a drop of more than half a percent. Yesterday accounted for a much larger portion of the improvement as lenders continued updating their offerings in response to Wednesday afternoon’s bond market movement (courtesy of the Fed). Bonds ultimately improved today due to a flight to safety in the broader market. In other words, investors sold riskier assets like stocks and bought safer assets like bonds.
