| Boring, Sideways Day. Does Wednesday"s Fed Announcement Even Matter? Neocloud concerns continued to experience a small correction/consolidation after last week"s surge. Interest rates could have justified a bit of weakness as a result, but managed to hold fairly steady. Bond market indecision likely has mor...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Hold Steady Yet Again | ||
| 10/27/2026 3:10 PM | ||
| It was a remarkably calm day for the mortgage market on two separate levels. First off, the average lender set this morning"s rates right in line with yesterday"s latest levels. Additionally, there were very few intraday changes (and in those cases, rates improved modestly). [thirtyyearmortgagerates] All of the above is made possible by the fact ...Read More | ||

| The ancient Chinese philosopher Sun Tzu said, “Sometimes the best victory is the battle that was not fought.” In a shrinking residential market there are a lot of potential battles, for example: “Rob, are you hearing that some IMBs are not charging an origination fee or putting caps on LO comp for jumbo loans?” Of course, especially if the independ...Read More | ||
| Mostly Consolidating Ahead of Fed. Some Pressure From Neocloud Bounce | ||
| 10/27/2026 9:07 AM | ||
| "Neocloud" has entered the commentary. This is shorthand for the market segment in which Coreweave operates. Neocloud companies have been the epicenter of recent concerns in tech that have helped fuel the mid October bond rally. Their negative momentum leveled off last Thursday--the same time bond yields bottomed. Neocloud stocks are up ...Read More | ||

| Mortgage Rates Hold Steady Over The Weekend | ||
| 10/26/2026 2:43 PM | ||
| It was an uneventful day for mortgage rates, which is just the sort of thing you want to see when the average lender is just a hair above the lowest levels in more than a month. There were no significant economic reports or other market developments that caused any major volatility for rates/bonds. The dominant theme, of late, has been investor ro...Read More | ||

| Slightly Stronger Start, But Generally Sideways and "Waiting" | ||
| 10/26/2026 8:46 AM | ||
| Bonds are technically just a hair stronger this morning, but in the slightly bigger picture, nothing has happened yet this week (not that we"d expect that to be the case before 10am on a Monday). The tech stock narrative that precipitated a sharp bond rally last Thursday continues to consolidate in a sideways pattern. Bonds are doing the same. Both...Read More | ||
| Slightly Weaker, But Much Stronger on The Week | ||
| 10/23/2026 2:53 PM | ||
| Slightly Weaker, But Much Stronger on The Week Friday was calm and sideways in the bigger picture. Sure, a 4+ bp increase in 10yr yields and an MBS decline of just over an eighth of a point might sound somewhat unpleasant on the average day, but considering we saw 4 times as much movement in the other, frie...Read More | ||
| Modest Uptick in Rates But Still Near 1-Month Lows | ||
| 10/23/2026 2:02 PM | ||
| Yesterday was an exciting day for rates with the lowest levels since September 23rd and a fairly brisk decline versus the previous day. Today? Fairly boring by comparison. Rates were technically a hair higher, which isn"t too surprising given the prevailing motivations in the tech sector. Yesterday"s rate rally coincided with heavy selling i...Read More | ||
