Mortgage rates nudge higher: Pete Wargent
While it's possible to borrow money at significantly lower rates than reported here, mortgage rates have nudged higher over the last couple of months.
Government bond yields have also crept steadily higher.
In fact the 10-year bond yield had dropped well below 2 percent in the second half of 2016, but has since staged a strong rebound to sit around 2.70 percent.
