| Slower Start, More Sideways. Stock Lever in Play | ||
| 2/24/2026 8:31 AM | ||
| Volume and volatility is lower this morning compared to yesterday, but the same theme of risk aversion looks to be in play, probably. Why "probably?" Because the theme in question (risk aversion, or what we sometimes refer to as the "stock lever") oftentimes makes it hard to distinguish between correlation and causality. All we know so far to...Read More | ||

| General Risk Aversion Trade Helping Bonds Bonds began the day in just barely stronger territory but continued to improve throughout. The first rally followed the 8:20am CME open--a common time of day to see a bit of extra momentum and volume. The next leg of the rally played out in the 10am hour which is wh...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Dip Back Into The 5"s | ||
| 2/23/2026 10:53 AM | ||
| This coverage is coming out earlier than normal due to a more interesting headline than normal. The average top-tier 30yr fixed rate fell back to 5.99% today, matching the levels seen only briefly back on January 9th, 2026 when the Fannie/Freddie bond buying plans were announced.

| 2/23/2026 9:51 AM | ||
| Bonds are starting the new week in slightly stronger territory, but still well inside the prevailing trading range. There were no standout market movers over the weekend although tariff and trade-related uncertainty may be generally weighing on investor sentiment to some small extent.

| Tariff Ruling Tried (And Failed) to Steal The Show If you were told ahead of time that Friday morning would bring news that the Supreme Court struck down the IEEPA tariffs, you wouldn"t be crazy to think it would be the week"s biggest news and a big potential source of volatility for bonds. But reality wasn...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates End Week at Lows | ||
| 2/20/2026 2:18 PM | ||
| Bonds dictate mortgage rates and bonds experienced a bit of volatility this morning in response to the Supreme Court ruling on tariffs.
