| All of you out there wishing there were fewer people on the roads or in line at the post office, take heart. Lenders with a long time horizon, not so much. Apparently, even paradise is having trouble keeping its population up: The Census Bureau released updated projections through 2100 for 25 countries and U.S. territories, revealing that populatio...Read More | ||
| Slightly Weaker as Stocks Recover. CPI On Deck | ||
| 11/9/2026 9:48 AM | ||
| In the bigger picture, today offers little by way of actionable new info for the bond market. Unsurprisingly, volatility is being dictated by a decently big bounce in equities. Stocks were sideways to slightly stronger overnight, but have jumped somewhat sharply at the 9:30am NYSE open. Roughly half of last Thursday"s rout has now been erased. Bond...Read More | ||

| Very Strong Showing For Bonds Considering The Headwinds There were two major headwinds in play for the bond market today. Most obviously, the jobs report was very strong--something that would normally push rates logically and obviously higher. One can only run through a list of potential explanations to fit...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Hold Steady at Lows Despite Stronger Jobs Report | ||
| 11/6/2026 2:06 PM | ||
| Today was an odd one for mortgage rates. Anyone who"s been following the rate market for very long will tell you that the monthly jobs report is one of the most reliable source of volatility for rates. In general, when job growth is much stronger than expected, rates rise and vice versa. But in today"s case, rates managed to hold perfectly flat de...Read More | ||

| Lender and Broker Products, Services, and Software Your borrower relationship shouldn’t end at the closing table. Homeowners’ financial needs continue long after they get their first mortgage, but the lender relationship often does not. That creates an opportunity for mortgage professionals to support needs throughout the homeowner lifecycle. Fin...Read More | ||
| Super Strong Jobs Report NOT Hitting Bonds Like You"d Expect | ||
| 11/6/2026 8:25 AM | ||
| Nonfarm payrolls came in 100k higher than forecast and the unemployment dropped even as the participation rate moved higher. That"s a recipe for a bond market sell-off if we ever saw one. But apart from an initial knee-jerk sell-off, yields returned back in line with pre-NFP levels within 8 minutes and haven"t moved much since then. What gives? W...Read More | ||
| Stocks Got Rocked. Bonds Picked Up Some Slack | ||

| Stocks Got Rocked. Bonds Picked Up Some Slack Chipmakers and other tech names got absolutely rocked today starting at the 9:30am NYSE open. Hedge funds dumped semiconductors like a bad habit early and often (Sandisk down 20% anyone?!), and with tech comprising so much of the 2026 growth story, the rest of t...Read More | ||
| Another Decent Drop as Mortgage Rates Move Under 7.2% | ||
| 11/5/2026 1:15 PM | ||
| Yesterday, it was a drop below 7.25%. Today, the 7.20% floor was broken. Mortgage rates have been on a tear over the past month and are now back to 7.17% for the average lender. If there"s one thing that deserves most of the credit for this bull run, it"s the extreme bearishness in tech stocks. The NASDAQ is now down roughly 14% from the October h...Read More | ||

| Why am I a sucker for stories like, “What Do the Twins in the Shining Look Like Now?”? Is the American public a sucker for not being more concerned that no politician seems concerned about the burgeoning deficit? Will there be any “fiscal conservatives” in Congress, or the White House? Here in Dallas, one of the topics, of course, is the election. ...Read More | ||
| Modestly Weaker For a Few Potential Reasons | ||
| 11/5/2026 8:06 AM | ||
| Bonds are starting the day a few bps weaker. 10yr yields are just over 4.90% and considering they were almost 50bps higher a month ago, you"re free to go about your business today without scrutinizing this morning"s baby bump. It could be purely incidental. But for those who demand scapegoats, the easiest suspect to blame would be corporate debt is...Read More | ||
