Yields are little changed this morning, and equities are mixed in premarket trading.

S&P futures are up 0.11% while the Dow is down slightly at 0.02% and the Nasdaq is down 0.09%. The MBA mortgage applications index fell by 1.2% last week, led by a 7.1% decline in refinancing activity, which pushed the refi application index to a 3-month low. The 30-year contract rate rose 6 bps to 6.98%, its highest since February. Housing affordability remains a challenge for the market, as would-be buyers remain on the sidelines due to the combination of high interest rates and rising home prices.
