Mortgage Rates Jump

Thirty-year fixed mortgages jumped to 5.45 % last week, up from a low of 4.85 % in April and threatening to derail any economic recovery.   The yield on10-year Treasury notes jumped to 3.9% last week as inflation leary investors demanded higher yields.

In March, the Fed pledged to use up to $1.25 trillion to buy up treasuries and mortgage backed securities through quantitative easing, causing investors to fear future hyper-inflation.
