U.S. mortgage rates rose again last week, reaching close to a 14-year high, according to Freddie Mac in a statement on June 23.

The average rate for a 30-year loan hit 5.81 percent, up from 5.78 percent last week, after reaching its largest one-week jump since 1987, while rates diverged from the decline in yields for 10-year treasuries.
