| Strange Combo of Excitement and Boredom Boring stuff first: there was no significant data, news, volume, or volatility today. Bonds gained modest ground early and then held mostly sideways through the 3pm CME close. In that sense, it was just like most other days during the government shutdown (and quite a ...Read More | ||
| Another Boring Day With Mortgage Rates Near 3-Year Lows | ||
| 10/20/2025 2:23 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates ended last week at the lowest levels in just over a month. It was the 3rd best day in over a year and the 24th best day in over 3 years. The other 23 days weren"t too much lower either. The only difference today is a microscopic improvement that makes it the 2nd best day in over a year. In other words, we"re hanging out near 3 year ...Read More | ||

| “Why did the Dalai Lama go to Las Vegas? Because he loves Tibet.” Here at the “MBA Annual,” the puns may not be flying, but there is news bouncing off the walls, some of it learned just by chatting in the hallways. (And there is plenty of time spent walking through the convention center… I need a Segway!) The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) anno...Read More | ||

| 10/20/2025 10:16 AM | ||
| New week. Same grind. We"re waiting (likely for a good while longer) for the government shutdown to end before the most relevant econ data can truly exert influence on the bond market in the big picture. On the plus side, the trading in the interim has erred on the bullish side thanks to the available non-gov data and anxiety over trade tensions. S...Read More | ||

| 10/17/2025 1:22 PM | ||
| The average top tier 30yr fixed rate was unchanged on Friday despite the bond market being slightly weaker. Normally, weaker bonds mean higher rates, but the timing of intraday market movement matters. In today"s case, bonds are still much stronger than the first half of yesterday, and only weaker when compared to closing levels. Because mortgage ...Read More | ||
| Bonds Partially Unwinding Yesterday"s Liquidity Panic | ||
| 10/17/2025 10:53 AM | ||
| By process of elimination and ongoing forensic efforts, it"s becoming more and more clear that yesterday"s mystery rally in the short end of the yield curve was a product of liquidity/reserve stress in short-term funding markets. While the regional bank drama may have added fuel to the fire in a roundabout way, it was neither the match nor the flam...Read More | ||

| Seriously... No One Seems to Know Today"s most prominent feature was a large, rapid move in Fed Funds Futures and other short-term rate metrics. Longer term rates benefited as well, but short term rates clearly led the rally. The issue is that there was no obvious catalyst. Some reports suggeste...Read More | ||

| Despite a stark absence of any truly inspiring events, interest rates have managed to put in two fairly serious days of movement. In today"s case specifically, there was an obvious intraday surge in the underlying bond market. While that surge wasn"t readily attributable to any data or news headline, it prompted many mortgage lenders to reissue low...Read More | ||
