| Limited Follow-Through After Shockingly Big Miss | ||

| Limited Follow-Through After Shockingly Big Miss If you told the average trader that today"s core CPI would come in at 2.6% vs 3.0% year over year, they would have expected a much bigger reaction than we saw today. Ironically, the size of the miss may be one of those reasons. It"s so far outside the realm o...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Near Lowest Levels Since October | ||
| 12/18/2025 2:44 PM | ||
| Officially, there were 2 days at the end of November where the average lender"s 30yr fixed rates were just a hair lower (0.02% difference). Otherwise, today"s rates would be the lowest since late October. The improvement follows this morning"s release of November"s Consumer Price Index (CPI). Inflation was so far below expectations that it r...Read More | ||

| Lender and Broker Services, Products, and Software “The federal quality control standards under Dodd Frank for automated valuation models (AVMs) require valuation professionals to provide greater transparency in how AVMs determine credible, consistent, and objective property values. That’s why it’s important (and required) to regularly test, moni...Read More | ||
| Big Drop in Annual CPI, But Only a Cautious Rally So Far | ||
| 12/18/2025 7:47 AM | ||
| Great news for bonds on the inflation front this morning: Core annual inflation came in at 2.6% compared to a 3.0% forecast and 3.0% last time. It"s the lowest reading of the cycle and the first attempt to break below the stagnant sideways/elevated levels that have prevented more aggressive Fed rate cuts. Despite those facts, the bond market ...Read More | ||
| Slightly More Focus Than Normal on Thursday"s CPI | ||
| 12/17/2025 3:17 PM | ||
| Slightly More Focus Than Normal on Thursday"s CPI Wednesday ended up being an uneventful trading day with bonds mostly sideways and well within the recent trading range. This isn"t hard to believe given the absence of any relevant market movers. Thursday could be different thanks to the Consumer Price Index...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Unchanged Ahead of Important Inflation Data | ||
| 12/17/2025 2:51 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates were perfectly unchanged compared to yesterday"s levels for the average lender. This wasn"t a huge surprise considering the absence of any high stakes economic data, but tomorrow could be a different story. Rates are driven by bonds and the economy is one of the primary sources of motivation for the bond market. In general, the two ...Read More | ||

| Quiet Calendar Ahead of Thursday"s CPI | ||
| 12/17/2025 9:35 AM | ||
| Wednesday is largely a placeholder as 2025"s relevant trading days evaporate. Apart from the year-end influences on the 29th-31st, Thursday"s CPI arguably represents the last opportunity to trade big ticket econ data until the early January jobs report. CPI has stepped in to fill the shoes that yesterday"s jobs report was apparently unable to fill....Read More | ||

| Unemployment Not High Enough For a Full-Fledged Rally If the only metric from this morning"s jobs report was the uptick in unemployment from 4.4 to 4.6%, and if that was the last of this week"s big ticket econ data, it wouldn"t be a surprise to see a more aggressive rate rally. As it stands, unemployment wa...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Only Slightly Lower, But Volatility Risks Remain | ||
| 12/16/2025 1:08 PM | ||
| There was a decent chance that rates would have made a fairly big move today in response to the release of November"s jobs report. This is the most important economic data as far as rates are concerned and today"s was the first full release since before the government shutdown. In general, weaker employment data promotes lower rates and vice versa...Read More | ||
