| Nice Rally on Data and Auction Results | ||
| 6/11/2025 3:19 PM | ||
| Nice Rally on Data and Auction Results Wednesday ended up being a straightforward session for bonds with a large CPI beat prompting a decently swift rally in the bond market. Shorter maturities did the best--also logical considering the proximity to the Fed Funds Rate and the fact that Fed rate expectations...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Fall as Inflation Data Comes in Soft | ||
| 6/11/2025 2:48 PM | ||
| After a calm start to the week on Monday and Tuesday, we were likely to see a bit more volatility on Wednesday due to important events on the calendar. The first was the morning"s release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI), a key inflation report. Inflation is one of the most basic inputs for the bond market. Bonds, in turn, dictate interest rate m...Read More | ||

| Here in Tampa, I was walking through the hotel bar last night when I overheard someone say, “Age 60 might be the new 40, but 9:00 PM is the new midnight.” True dat. (There is also plenty of attention on the House Financial Services Committee advancing the Trigger Leads Bill.) Speaking of Florida, the state has certainly been subject to some dramati...Read More | ||
| CPI Comes in Low Enough to Help | ||
| 6/11/2025 8:53 AM | ||
| Heading into today"s CPI data, our stance was that we"d need to see the monthly core number come in at 0.1 vs 0.3 in order to see much of a friendly response, and that is exactly what"s playing out. If markets weren"t taking inflation with a grain of salt at the moment, this would likely be worth a much bigger response. As it stands, Fe...Read More | ||
| No Drama Today. How About Tomorrow? | ||

| No Drama Today. How About Tomorrow? After a slightly bumpy start for reasons that remain unknown, the bond market settled into an uneventful sideways grind that lasted through the 3pm CME close. Both MBS and Treasuries were effectively unchanged and the latter didn"t give a second thought to a fairly weak 3...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Inch Slightly Lower | ||
| 6/10/2025 2:37 PM | ||
| It was a fairly boring day on what has turned out to be a fairly boring week so far for mortgage rates. After Friday"s larger spike, we"ve seen a microscopic recovery on each of the past 2 days. In terms of specific index levels, this equates to a 0.04% drop in the top tier 30yr fixed rate for the average lender. This is roughly one th...Read More | ||

| “Why is Ireland so expensive? House prices are always Dublin".” Those days are temporarily over in the United States, and the pendulum is quickly swinging to more inventory and price cuts in many places and price points.

| Bumpy Start; No Data; Waiting on Auction and Trade Headlines | ||
| 6/10/2025 9:46 AM | ||
| Although bonds are experiencing a small amount of volatility this morning, it isn"t consequential in the bigger picture. Quick-but-modest weakness at 10:15am ET has essentially taken MBS back to unchanged levels. 10yr yields rose 2bps and are still almost 1bp lower. In the absence of relevant econ data, it falls to the Treasury auction ...Read More | ||
| Gentle Rally Gently Reverses After Trade Headlines | ||
| 6/9/2025 2:56 PM | ||
| Gentle Rally Gently Reverses After Trade Headlines First thing"s first: bonds closed in stronger territory and retained most of the gains that were present in the AM hours. But they would have done just a bit better if not for a handful of newswires that hit around 2:30pm ET regarding vaguely positive...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates a Hair Lower to Start The Week | ||
| 6/9/2025 2:38 PM | ||
| As hoped, Friday"s big rate spike did not carry additional momentum into the new week. This is occasionally a risk when rates are responding to big surprise in the jobs report, but slightly less of a risk when the other economic data had been weaker. All that having been said, it"s not as if we"re seeing a triumphant return to last wee...Read More | ||
