Continuing its new pattern, the 30-year mortgage rate continues to stray from the Treasury yield amid rising market uncertainty.

"This week's survey once again displays the disconnect between mortgage rates and Treasury yields, a result of continued uncertainty," Freddie Mac Chief Economist Sean Becketti said.

The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage increased slightly to 4.16 percent for the week ending Feb. 23, 2017.  This is up from last week's 4.15 percent and from last year's 3.62 percent.

The 15-year FRM also increased slightly to 3.37 percent, up from last week's 3.35 percent and from last year's 2.93 percent.

However, the five-year Treasury-indexed hybrid adjustable-rate mortgage decreased slightly to 3.16 percent, down from last week's 3.18 percent but still up from last year's 2.79 percent.

"In a short week following Presidents Day, the 10-year Treasury yield fell about eight basis points," Becketti said.  "However, the 30-year mortgage rate rose one basis point to 4.16 percent."
