«Concern over weaker consumer confidence and industrial production outweighed the pick-up in retail sales and business inventories causing interest rates to decline even further this week.

«Although mortgage rates have risen in the last two weeks, they are still below last year's annual average of about 7 percent and well below 2000's average of 8 percent. The current rising rates will dull the edge of the refinancing market, but there remain homeowners who have put off refinancing for one reason or another who may now rush to their lender to take advantage of current rates.»
