| Fairly Huge Improvement in Rates Followed by Some Deterioration | ||
| 9/29/2023 4:57 PM | ||
| It depends quite a bit on the lender in question, but at some point between yesterday morning and this morning, the average lender dropped rates at the fastest single-day pace in months. Before you get excited, there"s a catch--two or three of them actually. The first catch is that some lenders split that improvement between yesterday afternoon an...Read More | ||

| Leveling Off Into The Weekend (We Hope) | ||
| 9/29/2023 11:24 AM | ||
| The trading day began on a fairly positive note with a strong hand-off from Europe and reasonably friendly inflation data at 8:30am. After a few moments of indecision, bonds rallied modestly on the data, but have been giving back the gains as we head into the PM hours. The rest of the day may be dictated by month/quarter-end tradeflows ...Read More | ||

| Bonds Bounce Despite Stronger Data | ||
| 9/28/2023 3:11 PM | ||
| Bonds Bounce Despite Stronger Data Bonds lost ground overnight and logically added to the losses after the morning"s Jobless Claims data. Dovish comments from Fed"s Goolsbee helped push back in the other direction and month-end tradeflows added to gains in the afternoon. All told, it was a token...Read More | ||
| Small Reprieve in Rate Rout | ||
| 9/28/2023 2:28 PM | ||
| The past few days have seen rates surge to new multi-decade highs with the average lender quoting 7.6+ for top tier conventional 30yr fixed scenarios. Not too much has changed today apart from the direction of the movement and the fact that modest gains weren"t brutally dashed as the day progressed. In fact, most lenders updated rates for th...Read More | ||

| 9/28/2023 11:47 AM | ||
| Pending home sales failed to add a third month onto the mini rally it staged in June and July. The National Association of Realtors® (NAR) said its Pending Home Sale Index (PHSI) declined 7.1 percent to 71.8 in August and is now down 18.7 percent from its August 2022 level. The PHSI ended a three-month decline in June, rising 0.3 percent followe...Read More | ||
| A Different Kind of Day So Far | ||
| 9/28/2023 11:09 AM | ||
| Bonds lost ground modestly overnight. Contrast that to the past few trading sessions that have seen gains in Europe followed by selling in the US. Then at the start of the domestic session, economic data added to the weakness, but not before a quick, paradoxical blip into stronger territory. This was odd indeed, considering it fol...Read More | ||

| Relentless Surge in Mortgage Rates | ||
| 9/27/2023 4:10 PM | ||
| It"s with no great pleasure (none of any kind, for that matter) that we find ourselves in a position to report, yet again, that mortgage rates have sailed decisively to another new multi-decade high. Today"s installment is fairly unpleasant given that the average lender actually began the day in slightly stronger territory only to be forced t...Read More | ||
