From Matthew Graham at Mortgage News Daily: Long-Term Rate Lows Fighting For Survival

Mortgage rates are on the move, heading noticeably higher after a more subtle increase yesterday. With that, this week now stands as the first major push back against the impressive run to near-record lows that's taken place since the UK voted to leave the European Union in late June. Whereas lenders had increasingly been quoting 3.25% on top tier 30yr fixed scenarios, most have moved back up to 3.375%. Some of the more conservatively-priced crowd is even higher.
