5 weeks ago, Wall Street was mostly convinced that the economy was about to turn a corner. At the time, traders were piling into the stock market, chasing big gains and selling everything risk-averse. Mortgage bonds were in very low demand and the supply glut pushed rates north of 6 percent. Since then, the world has calmed down a bit.
