| Oil Impact Ultimately Shunned in Favor of Jobs Report Implications It was a super interesting day for the bond market. Yields rose to the week"s highs overnight as oil prices continued to surge. We knew we"d get at least some sort of reaction to any big beat/miss in the jobs report and today"s miss was cert...Read More | ||
| Volatile Crosscurrents Keep Mortgage Rates Relatively Flat | ||
| 3/6/2026 2:24 PM | ||
| Before this morning"s jobs report was released, mortgage rates were on track to end the week at their highest levels in several weeks. This was due to an ongoing mega-spike in oil prices spilling over to the bond market (higher oil = higher inflation implications, and bonds hate inflation). The jobs report saved the day, albeit in a morbid way. It...Read More | ||
| Highest Refi Demand in 4 Years After Last Week"s Rate Rally | ||
| 3/6/2026 2:00 PM | ||
| Mortgage application activity surged last week in response to headlines of mortgage rates stably holding multi-year lows. The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) reported an increase of 11.0% on a seasonally adjusted basis for the week ending February 27. Refi applications once again led the charge, jumping 14.3% from the previous week and 109...Read More | ||

| Officially winter ends on 3/19, as the Spring Equinox is 3/20. Most modern clocks these days auto-update when daylight savings begins/ends. So, Sunday morning I’ll be walking around my house thinking, “Wow... times have changed.” This Sunday many places will be changing their clocks and springing ahead. This will, once again, lead to the public ask...Read More | ||
| Massive Miss in NFP. So Why Aren"t Bonds Improving? | ||
| 3/6/2026 8:29 AM | ||
| It"s shaping up to be a frustrating day market watchers. Decades of experience tells us that bonds should rally fairly sharply on a day where nonfarm payrolls miss the forecast by the widest margin in more than a year. At -92k vs +59k, today fits that bill. And like you"d expect, bonds rallied sharply right at 8:30am ET. But the rally w...Read More | ||
| Dueling Narratives Leave Yields Higher Ahead of Jobs Report | ||
| 3/5/2026 2:32 PM | ||
| Dueling Narrative Leave Yields Higher Ahead of Jobs Report In the overnight session yields followed oil prices higher, but notably, Treasuries continued to sell even after oil leveled off. Then during domestic hours, it was Treasuries" turn to level off while oil prices spiked. From 9am to 2pm, oil ro...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Bounce Back Up Near Recent Highs | ||
| 3/5/2026 2:02 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates bounced back up today as the underlying bond market continued the selling trend seen on 3 out of 4 days so far this week. In the overnight hours, bond yields (which generally correlate with mortgage rates) moved higher in concert with rising oil prices. That said, it would be a mistake to assume this is the only correlation in...Read More | ||

| Here in Park City, at the annual mortgage ski trip, some of the banter is social, and some is focused on business. On the business side of things, one topic is the nearly 1 million people impacted by hackers attacking Figure Technology Solutions, a blockchain-focused fintech lender. U.S. financial institutions are increasing cybersecurity vigilance...Read More | ||

| 3/5/2026 8:24 AM | ||
| The bond market has already shown an indifference to this week"s econ data as a market mover (even though we expect that to change with tomorrow"s jobs report). This morning, however, the trend continues with stronger jobless claims and a big uptick in labor costs failing to inspire a reaction. But there has been movement. A steady wave of overnigh...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Move Back Down Despite Stronger Data | ||
| 3/4/2026 2:31 PM | ||
| Economic data is one of the few consistent sources of motivation for interest rates in the mortgage world and beyond. In general, stronger data tends to push rates higher and vice versa. But in today"s case, that correlation didn"t pan out. The first of today"s two important economic reports was ADP Employment. It was just barely stronger than exp...Read More | ||
