Yields from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgage bonds have soared, which will most likely push interest rates up on new home loans.
Yields on Fannie Mae's 30-year fixed-rate bonds soared by around 0.32 percent point to 4.64 percent, up from 3.94 percent last May 20 and near the six-month high of 4.69 percent recorded last May 27.
