The delinquency rate in September improved for the third consecutive month, easing eight basis points to 2.94 percent. The delinquency rate is up just four basis points from a year ago, but it is down six basis points in the year to date. Morningstar Credit Ratings believes the delinquency rate will hold below 3.0 percent after reaching an 18-month high of 2.19 percent in June, as there are fewer securitized commercial mortgages left that we expect will default at maturity, resolutions remain high and issuance has picked up.Â
