| Sleepy Pre-Fed Day, But Slightly Stronger | ||

| 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 | ||

| 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 | ||

| Stronger Start as Markets Hope For De-Escalation | ||
| 3/16/2026 9:38 AM | ||
| With no massive escalation in Iran over the weekend, oil prices trickled only modestly higher during Asian trading hours and began to recover during European hours. Early domestic trading kept the friendly trend intact with some help from Trump comments that suggested a limited timeline for the war. That said, the rally was more of a linear trend t...Read More | ||
| Just a Bit More Selling to End The Week | ||
| 3/13/2026 3:40 PM | ||
| Just a Bit More Selling to End The Week Nothing much new happened in the bond market today and that"s not great because the status quo has been for rising energy prices to push bond yields higher (and stocks lower). The short end of the curve actually improved, but that says more about end-of-week position ...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Surge to 7-Month Highs | ||
| 3/13/2026 1:12 PM | ||
| March hasn"t been a great month for mortgage rates and the past 3 days have been particularly bad. During that time, our daily rate index went from 6.09% on Tuesday to 6.41% today--the highest since September 4th, 2025. While that"s certainly not the fastest jump we"ve seen, it"s the worst 3-day stretch since early April, 2025. Mortgage rate...Read More | ||
