| Mortgage Rates Move Back Up Near Recent Highs | ||
| 3/18/2026 4:06 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates got hit 3 times on Wednesday, with the net effect being a move back up to the highest levels in several months. The average lender isn"t quite as high as they were last Friday, but after late-day "reprices" many are fairly close. The least of the bond market"s concerns (bonds dictate rates) was this morning"s inflation data. T...Read More | ||

| Among the hot topics in the hallways of the ICE Experience is the evolution in data contained in each lien, along with massive appraisal change hitting our biz. I was chatting with Class Valuation’s Mark Walser yesterday about UAD 3.6. (If you’d like a primer on it, and you should, see this write up by Mike Simmons.) On 11/2/26, all appraisals, to ...Read More | ||
| Overnight Gains Erased by PPI/Oil. Fed on Deck | ||
| 3/18/2026 8:14 AM | ||
| The Producer Price Index (PPI) was this morning"s only big ticket econ data and calling it "big ticket" is a bit of a stretch. PPI often passes without a trace, but can occasionally get an obvious response even if it"s not a huge response. Today"s installment is bigger than normal. If there"s a reason, it would be that the PPI components that flow ...Read More | ||
| Sleepy Pre-Fed Day, But Slightly Stronger | ||
| 3/17/2026 3:07 PM | ||
| Sleepy Pre-Fed Day, But Slightly Stronger Bonds did something they haven"t done in almost 3 weeks today. They closed at stronger levels for the second consecutive day. The last time that happened was February 27th at the end of the impressive month-long rally. While today was stronger, it wasn"t exactl...Read More | ||
| The Fed Isn"t Doing Anything to Mortgage Rates on Wednesday | ||
| 3/17/2026 2:07 PM | ||
| It was a fairly uneventful day for mortgage rates, but also a fairly decent one. The underlying bond market made modest gains even without meaningful cues from oil prices. Lately, oil price volatility has been the most visible motivation for bonds and, thus, interest rates. After cresting 6.40% last week, the MND 30yr fixed rate index is back belo...Read More | ||

| Products, Services, and Software for Brokers and Lenders The average person makes more than 35,000 decisions a day. Most are inconsequential: coffee or tea, paper or plastic. For mortgage capital markets teams, whose decisions shape pricing, execution quality, and risk exposure, the stakes are much higher. Fortunately, a new independent analysis ...Read More | ||
| Another Solid Start, But Without as Much Help From Oil | ||
| 3/17/2026 9:45 AM | ||
| Until the end of the Iran war, bond traders are keeping oil prices on their screens and comparing oil price movement against bond market movement as the first task on the daily checklist. In so doing, we see a bit of outperformance on the part of bonds this morning. While there is solid directional correlation (i.e. yields and o...Read More | ||
| Simple, Strong Correlation With Oil Leaves Yields Lower | ||
| 3/16/2026 2:24 PM | ||
| Simple, Strong Correlation With Oil Leaves Yields Lower There"s no sense in overcomplicating today"s trading session. Oil was down significantly and so were bond yields. The correlation was very strong after 4am ET with each major peak and valley aligning. Econ data was present, but not a relevant considera...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Recover Modestly From 7-Month Highs | ||
| 3/16/2026 1:51 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates are based on bonds, and bonds spent last week bracing for the impact of higher energy prices. In the bond world, higher inflation begets higher rates, all else equal. Oil prices remain elevated, but fell more than 5% on Monday. The bond market responded with a drop in Treasury yields (which generally correlate with mortgage ra...Read More | ||
