The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) reported on Wednesday the mortgage application volume in the U.S. rose 0.6 percent in the week ended October 25, following an 11.9 percent plunge in the previous week.

According to the report, applications to purchase a home climbed 2.3 percent, while refinance applications declined 0.5 percent.

Meanwhile, the average fixed 30-year mortgage rate edged up to 4.05 percent from 4.02 percent.

“The 10-year Treasury rate rose slightly last week, as markets expected more progress toward a trade deal between the U.S. and China,” noted Joel Kan, the MBA’s associate vice president of economic and industry forecasting.
