The MBA Mortgage Refinance Index tracks the volume of applications to refinance existing mortgages. This index is highly sensitive to changes in interest rates; when rates drop, homeowners often rush to refinance to lower their monthly payments. High refinance activity can increase disposable income for households, thereby supporting broader consumer spending.
The index is a component of the Weekly Mortgage Applications Survey, focusing solely on applications intended to replace an existing mortgage with a new one.
