| Mortgage Rates Were Flat All Week No Matter What Other News Suggests | ||
| 9/12/2025 2:20 PM | ||
| The underlying bond market (which dictates the rates offered by mortgage lenders) weakened moderately overnight. Weaker bonds equate to higher rates, all else equal.

| 9/12/2025 10:11 AM | ||
| Bonds began the week with 10yr at 4.07 before rallying down to 4.04 by Monday"s close. Now on Friday, we"re opening at 4.06 and we haven"t spent much time trading more than a few bps higher or lower than that for the entire week.

| Very Calm Reaction But Not Too Surprising One could argue that CPI is the next biggest potential market mover after the jobs report. With that in mind, it might seem surprising that MBS are heading out the door roughly unchanged and 10yr yields are down less than 3bps. It becomes less surprising when we con...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Move Back to Long-Term Lows | ||
| 9/11/2025 2:51 PM | ||

| Slightly Stronger Start Despite Slightly Higher Inflation | ||
| 9/11/2025 11:10 AM | ||
| It"s an interesting morning for economic data and the bond market"s reaction. At face value, CPI was mostly in line with forecasts, but unrounded numbers were a bit hot (i.e. core monthly CPI was 0.346%, almost high enough to make for a 0.4 vs 0.3 reading). Additionally, monthly headline inflation was 0.4 vs 0.3. These numbers, in and of them...Read More | ||

| Helpful Data and Treasury Auction Set High Bar For CPI Another fairly straightforward day for the bond market with friendly econ data and a strong 10yr Treasury auction both helping push yields lower.

| Mortgage Rates Hold Steady With Help From Econ Data | ||
| 9/10/2025 3:02 PM | ||
| Wednesday brought the first of this week"s two key inflation reports. While the Producer Price Index (PPI) is the lesser of the two in terms of potential impact on rates, it came in far enough below expectations to make for a measurable improvement. The catch is that the improvement in question pertains to the underlying bond market. Before the da...Read More | ||
