  Score: 6/10

  Can you provide the current mortgage rates for a 30-year fixed loan program, and also give some historical mortgage rate trends for the past 5 years?

  However, you can usually find current mortgage rates on financial news websites or through banks and mortgage lenders. For historical mortgage rate trends, the Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED) website is a reliable source that tracks mortgage rates over time.
