Good morning,

   Is anyone aware of a good source for researching the history of interest rates and predictions for the future?  I'm specifically interested in past and present trends for both fixed and ARM rates.  If I find enough useful information I'll make sure to post it.

Thanks,
Matt

Interest rates for fixed-rate mortgages tend to move in concert with the 10 year treasury bonds.

Interest rates for ARM mortgages depend upon the underlying index. One prevailing index is the one-year treasury.

If you discover a technique for predicting the treasury bond rates, you can reliably predict future mortgage rates.
