There are a lot of moving parts behind the scenes so let"s focus on what we can know or at least reasonably conclude. ...Read More | ||

| Exciting Times, But Don"t Get Too Excited There"s no question that the past 5 days have been the best 5 days that we"ve seen in a long time in terms of direction movement in rates.

| “My coworker asked me how I’m doing this morning. Yet another third party trying to steal my data!” Data travels at the speed of light. Mickey D’s is reportedly using artificial intelligence to “dynamically” price its burgers. Imagine a lender trying that! AI filled the exhibition hall at the MBA’s conference this week.

| What"s Up With The Huge Paradoxical Rally?! | ||
| 10/15/2026 8:42 AM | ||
| Core PPI was up 0.7 vs 0.3 forecast this morning. That"s something that would normally send yields much higher. But everything is different this morning. Bonds rallied sharply in the overnight session and added a bit more to the gains after the 8:30am data. This is on top of yesterday"s stunning comeback after getting rocked by higher CPI.

| You won"t see too many days like today when it comes to mortgage rates and the underlying bond market that drives them. Bonds were eagerly awaiting this morning"s Consumer Price Index (CPI), a key inflation report and an important source of guidance for the Fed rate outlook.

| CPI Puts a Floor Under Recent Rate Rally | ||
| 10/14/2026 8:48 AM | ||
| Unrounded core CPI came in at 0.335, which nearly rounds to 0.4% versus an expectations of 0.2%. This is a big surprise when it comes to inflation data, and it matters more at the moment given the rapidly evolving Fed rate hike outlook. Recent Fed speeches caused a significant pull-back in rate hike expectations. Today"s inflation data undoes...Read More | ||

| Light Volatility and Modest Gains Ahead of CPI Bonds were modestly stronger in the overnight session in a move that is easiest to attribute to ongoing supportive buying in response to recently higher yields in the long end of the market. Fed Funds Futures were also in play as implied Fed Funds tracked fairl...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Inch to Another 2-Week Low | ||
| 10/13/2026 1:35 PM | ||
| It was an uneventfully good day for mortgage rates. Unlike the average day over the past several weeks, there was minimal intraday volatility in the underlying bond market. This allowed the average lender to issue rates once this morning and avoid intraday rate changes. Fortunately, the overnight market movement was in our favor today as tra...Read More | ||
