Applications for U.S. home loans rose last week, spurred by a rise in mortgage refinancings as 30-year mortgage rates eased to their lowest level since early April, an industry group said.

The Mortgage Bankers Assn.’s seasonally adjusted market index, a measure of mortgage activity, rose 1.8% to 690.7 in the week ended Friday.

The refinance share of mortgage activity rose to 44.5% of total applications last week from the prior week’s 43.2%.
