The increase broke a string of four consecutive declines. Rates had fallen to a 19-year low of 8.23% in early January, climbed to 9.03% by late March and have fallen in most weeks since. On one-year adjustable rate mortgages, lenders were asking an average initial rate of 5.96%, up from 5.93% last week.
