How best to track mortgage interest rates?

I was told that briefing.com is a good place to watch. The problem is I don't know wtf I'm looking at over there :)
I think this is what he was talking about:
briefing bond market snapshot
Can someone give me the secret decoder ring for this stuff? Do mortgage rates closely follow the 10-year bond? If so, and I see something like this:
10:27 ET 10-Yr: +23/32..3.784%.. USD/JPY: 109.7200.. EUR/USD: 1.4779
Is that indicative of a likely drop in mortgage rates? If so, by approximately how much?

Your mortgage rates react in a similar manner as the 10 yr bond, however they are not tied together. Your mortgage rates are actually tied to the fannie mae/ Freddie Mac securites being traded on the Chicago board. This information is not real accessible or generally in live time. What I tell my customers who are trying to figure out what the rates are is to check out our site daily after 10 am

We pay an outside firm to give us market/statistical info on the market and a lock recommendation--This analysis is not perfect but we have found it to be very helpful and breakdown what affects interest rates into layman terms. Hope this helps
