| Uncertainty Extended Indefinitely | ||
| 4/22/2026 3:09 PM | ||
| Uncertainty Extended Indefinitely Heading into last night"s ceasefire expiration, there was a sense that the market would at least have something to provide a directional cue to break the recent range-bound monotony.

| 4/22/2026 2:22 PM | ||
| Rates remain focused on oil prices and war-related developments. With yesterday"s ceasefire extension and today"s ambiguity over the time frame of that extension, rates are in a distinct holding pattern until the next phase of escalation/de-escalation comes into better focus. For now, the market is generally betting on de-escalation as seen in sto...Read More | ||

| Today we have a press conference with HUD Secretary Scott Turner and U.S. Federal Housing Director Bill Pulte announcing “a significant development in the U.S. housing finance system” at 12:45PM ET.

| Hurrying Up And Waiting | ||
| 4/22/2026 9:11 AM | ||
| As a testament to just how confident the market is/was that neither side is overly interested in escalating the Iran war, Tuesday night"s ceasefire deadline has come and gone with surprisingly little fanfare. Yes, the ceasefire was technically extended, but the more relevant point is that oil prices have traded inside a 4 dollar range that covered ...Read More | ||

| 4/21/2026 2:49 PM | ||
| Ceasefire Uncertainty Adds to Losses Bonds were just a bit weaker this morning after the weekly ADP data. Just before 11am ET, several newswires called ceasefire negotiations into question.

| Highest Rates in a Week But There"s a Catch | ||
| 4/21/2026 1:49 PM | ||
| Technically and officially, today"s average top tier 30yr fixed mortgage rate is the highest since last Monday. The catch is that there hasn"t been much movement since then with the overall range being limited to 0.04%. Today"s jump was the largest upward movement during that time. There was some upward pressure on rates from stronger employ...Read More | ||

| Barely Weaker After Weekly ADP Data (Not Retail Sales) | ||
| 4/21/2026 8:03 AM | ||
| Heading into the day, the 8:30am Retail Sales data was the obvious pick among the available economic reports to be a potential market mover. Reality had other ideas... weird ones. After months and months without any major reaction, this morning"s weekly ADP employment finally made its presence felt, even if only by the smallest of margins. Retail S...Read More | ||

| 4/20/2026 3:24 PM | ||
| Bonds Only Modestly Weaker After New Escalation Over The Weekend Bonds/oil/stocks saw a small corrective bounce over the weekend after headlines called the peace process into question, but markets agree we"re close enough to "on track" to avoid a major correction. Over the course of the day, bonds returned ...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Almost Perfectly Flat to Start New Week | ||
| 4/20/2026 2:21 PM | ||
| Despite some initial signs of volatility in financial markets over the weekend, the bond market managed to avoid losing much ground. Because bonds dictate mortgage rate movement, the average lender remained very close to Friday"s latest levels. MND"s rate index (a measure of top-tier 30yr fixed rates) rose by 0.01% which is the smallest incr...Read More | ||
