| Ultimately Flat After Options-Driven Volatility Treasuries continued in the same sideways holding pattern seen over the past 4 trading sessions. This generally mirrors a holding pattern in certain tech companies" credit risk metrics. In short, bonds currently have nothing better to do than wait and see if t...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates End Flat After Starting Slightly Lower | ||
| 10/21/2026 2:58 PM | ||
| It was another ho-hum day for mortgage rates, which is more of the exception than the rule these days. But we"re not complaining! The uneventful, sideways movement means rates are holding in line with the lowest levels in nearly a month. Today would have been slightly lower than yesterday had it not been for some mid-day weakness in the underlying...Read More | ||

| Let’s see what’s in my electronic mailbag. “Rob, is it true that LOs can now join the MBA directly?” Yup. There’s MBA Homebase that provides loan officers with education, coaching, professional development, and a stronger voice in the mortgage industry. It is open to loan officers at every lender and across every origination channel, regardless of ...Read More | ||

| We find ourselves in a bit of a lull in the bond market this week, and we don"t object! Yields aren"t screaming back up toward recent highs. Nor are they extending last week"s swift rally. Both would cause problems for different reasons. Consolidating last week"s rally in this narrow, sideways pattern is arguably the very best thing that could have...Read More | ||
| Tech Concerns Keeping Bonds in The Game | ||
| 10/20/2026 3:37 PM | ||
| Tech Concerns Keeping Bonds in The Game There was some oil price volatility today that looked like it might line up with some of the intraday volatility in the bond market. This may have actually been relevant between 10:10 and 10:30am as various rumors circulated regarding a draft deal. But the general tra...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Move Slightly Lower | ||
| 10/20/2026 1:45 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates dropped 0.03% today on average leaving the top-tier 30yr fixed rate index at 7.40% vs 7.43% yesterday--the third lowest level in more than 3 weeks. As has been and continues to be the case, the lower rates seen since last Wednesday are primarily being driven by concerns about deleveraging and potential contagion in the AI sector. On...Read More | ||

| “I ordered a book online titled, ‘How to Scam People Online.’ It’s been six months and I still haven’t received it.” Being scammed, and fraud in general, isn’t a laughing matter. Companies like SoFi publish information on how to recover afterward. People over 60, as always, are more susceptible. The FBI has a website on mortgage fraud which is well...Read More | ||
| Slightly Stronger Start | ||
| 10/20/2026 8:39 AM | ||
| The bond market continues to decide who it wants to be in Q4, 2026--the harbinger of inflation concerns, debt issuance and economic growth or a safe haven for cash being freed up by AI capex deleveraging. We"re starting slightly stronger today with the AI deleveraging trade apparently setting the tone. Movement is too modest to demand any rigorous ...Read More | ||
| What"s Up With Monday"s Weakness? | ||
| 10/19/2026 3:41 PM | ||
| What"s Up With Monday"s Weakness? Bonds were moderately weaker on Monday and not in a way that was obviously connected to any of the potential scapegoats. We know that there was selling in the EU bond market overnight and while U.S. yields correlated with much of that move, that correlation broke down preci...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Start Week Higher | ||
| 10/19/2026 2:58 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates were moderately higher to start the new week, adding to the modest losses seen on Friday. The silver lining is that any of the past 3 business days saw the lowest rates since September 23rd. There were no clear reasons for today"s rate movement in terms of economic reports or news headlines. The same was true for last week"s biggest...Read More | ||
