Mortgage rates moved lower this week, but strong economic data and comments by the outgoing Federal Reserve chair left many anticipating higher rates, according to Freddie Mac.

Mortgage rates ticked down this week after previously hitting their highest level since July, according to Freddie Mac.

Mortgage rates moved to their highest mark since July and the 10-year Treasury yield ticked up 6 basis points, according to Freddie Mac.
