30-year mortgage lowest in 2 years

Interest rates on U.S. 30-year fixed-rate mortgages fell to their lowest levels since September 2017. This comes as U.S. bond yields fall due to trade tension between United States and its trading partners, Freddie Mac said. 

Thirty-year mortgage rates averaged 3.82% in the week ended June 6, down from 3.99% a week ago and 4.54% a year earlier, the mortgage finance agency said.
