États-Unis Demandes de prêts hypothécaires

Mortgage applications in the US plummeted by 12.6% from the previous week in the period ending December 27th, stretching the 10.7% plunge in earlier period, according to data compiled by the Mortgage Bankers Association. The drop indicated that applications for mortgage volumes were the lowest in 10 months on a seasonally adjusted basis. The result was consistent with a surge in borrowing costs as benchmark mortgage rates approach the 7% threshold, in line with the rise for long-dated Treasury yields following hawkish projections by the FOMC.
