| This Isn"t The PCE We"re Looking For | ||

| If you"re just joining us, here"s a brief history of the last few decades as it concerns inflation and interest rates. Inflation was an overblown concern among market participants who were scarred by the early 80s. It consistently failed to matter or materialize until 1980s style hyperinflation came roaring back post-covid. Since then, inflation da...Read More | ||

| Narrow Trading, Weaker Drift; MBS Live Threads Intro Bonds began the day in weaker territory but found a bit on the latest tariff headlines (bad for stocks, good for bonds).

| Mortgage Rates Hold Steady Near Recent Highs | ||
| 3/26/2025 3:58 PM | ||
| It depends what one"s definition of "recent" is, but if it involves the past few weeks, mortgage rates were at their highest recent levels both yesterday and today. 2 other days in that window were worse, but only microscopically. On a positive note, the entirety of the past few weeks has seen rates calmly holding a narrow range at the...Read More | ||

| Anyone who thinks politics doesn’t impact residential lending isn’t, frankly, paying attention. Let’s start with something simple, like… interest rates. Rates, including mortgage rates, are influenced by economic activity, and we can all agree that tariffs figure into that. We’ve all heard the case in favor of tariffs over the last year. But Republ...Read More | ||
| Yields Pushing Against 1 Month Highs | ||
| 3/26/2025 10:37 AM | ||
| The first 3 days of this week have all generally seen yields at the highest levels in a month (or perhaps in "at least 28 days" considering Feb"s day count). While that doesn"t sound like an overly pleasant turn of events for the bond/mortgage market, the reality is far less threatening, for now. It is true that if today"s session c...Read More | ||

| Overnight Weakness Gives Way to Modest Gains In absolute terms, it was a moderately active day for bonds as 10yr yields moved inside a respectable 7bp range (4.37 to 4.30). In day-over-day terms, we"re left with merely modest gains, but no one"s complaining. Early trading raised concerns about a technical b...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Modestly Higher on Average, But Some Lenders Are Lower | ||
| 3/25/2025 3:02 PM | ||
| One of the key principles of mortgage rate movement has to do with the frequency of mortgage rate changes. Specifically, mortgage lenders prefer to update rates once per day.
