US MBA mortgage applications w.e. 29 December -10.7% vs -1.5% prior

  • Latest data from the Mortgage Bankers Association for the week ending 29 December 2023
  • Prior -1.5%
  • Market index 173.5 vs 191.6 prior
  • Purchase index 140.7 vs 148.7 prior
  • Refinance index 358.2 vs 437.6 prior
  • 30-year mortgage rate 6.76% vs 6.83% prior

That's a big plunge in mortgage applications in the past week, owing much to a steep decline in refinancing activity. That being said, the caveat here is that this is all part of the Christmas week so it is arguably more of an outlier more than anything else.
