I find it somewhat interesting that a US 30 year fixed mortgage is 5,49%, while a 10 year fixed mortgage in Sweden currently is at 3,6%[1]. Big difference!

A lot of that is from the term. Rate goes up with term. A 10yr or a 15yr in the US would have a lower rate
If you are comparing across currencies you have to take each currencies expected inflation rate into account.
