The Monthly Treasury Average continued climbing in October.

Up 16 basis points from September, the MTA came in at 3.3258%, according to today’s Federal Reserve Statistical Release. A year ago, the figure was much lower at 1.6767%.

The latest increase in the MTA, also known as the as 12-Month Moving Average Treasury index, reportedly represents the 18th consecutive monthly upturn.

The MTA is the 12-month average of the 1-year T-bill’s monthly average yield, which the Fed said was 4.18% in October. For Friday, the 1-year T-bill was reported at 4.34%.

The MTA competes with the 1-year T-bill itself, the cost of funds index, and the LIBOR index for adjustable rate mortgages, which currently comprise about 30% of mortgage applications.
