Correlation of Bond Yields and Mortgage Rates

[Account Closed]

Hey smart investors, 

I was hoping someone could offer me valuable resources to better understand the correlation between bond yields and mortgage rates. I understand the general yin-yang that when demand for bonds increases, it pushes down yields and brings rates down with it, but I am hungry for a deeper understanding—a view behind the curtain of how the whole system works. I'm sure it's much more in-depth than I am ready for, but I want to try and learn this dynamic. 

Any links or articles you guys might know of would be greatly appreciated! Also, I would prefer any BiggerPockets articles, as I'm sure this has been brought up already, and I would appreciate the communities sense of the topic.

MortgageNewsDaily.com is by far the best resource for this, they track rates, MBS daily, have good overviews of how it works

Every day there is a MBS and Rates Article, sometimes pretty light, but sometimes (once a week or so), very long articles on market updates on exactly what you are looking for

This December 30 update is a great example:
