Mortgage rates have sunk to their lowest level in about four years as the Fed keeps rates on hold, suggesting the bottom may be in for now. Borrowers could benefit from locking in rates, though future moves by the Fed and shifts in inflation or Treasury yields could influence volatility and the trajectory of rates going forward.
