| The average top tier 30yr fixed rate was unchanged on Friday despite the bond market being slightly weaker. Normally, weaker bonds mean higher rates, but the timing of intraday market movement matters. In today"s case, bonds are still much stronger than the first half of yesterday, and only weaker when compared to closing levels. Because mortgage ...Read More | ||
| Bonds Partially Unwinding Yesterday"s Liquidity Panic | ||
| 10/17/2025 10:53 AM | ||
| By process of elimination and ongoing forensic efforts, it"s becoming more and more clear that yesterday"s mystery rally in the short end of the yield curve was a product of liquidity/reserve stress in short-term funding markets. While the regional bank drama may have added fuel to the fire in a roundabout way, it was neither the match nor the flam...Read More | ||

| Under the category of careers that are, or will be, impacted, by artificial intelligence, attorneys are inevitably on it. Here’s a tale of a lawyer caught using AI while explaining to the Court why he used AI. In other legal mortgage news, California mandated forbearances for mortgage borrowers affected by wildfires.

| Seriously... No One Seems to Know Today"s most prominent feature was a large, rapid move in Fed Funds Futures and other short-term rate metrics. Longer term rates benefited as well, but short term rates clearly led the rally. The issue is that there was no obvious catalyst. Some reports suggeste...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Quickly Approaching Long-Term Lows | ||
| 10/16/2025 2:42 PM | ||
| Despite a stark absence of any truly inspiring events, interest rates have managed to put in two fairly serious days of movement. In today"s case specifically, there was an obvious intraday surge in the underlying bond market. While that surge wasn"t readily attributable to any data or news headline, it prompted many mortgage lenders to reissue low...Read More | ||

| Block Trades Setting The Tone After Mostly Data-Free Morning | ||
| 10/16/2025 8:40 AM | ||
| There were quite a few economic reports that would have been released this morning were it not for the gov shutdown. OK, well only 3 notable absences, but there would have been a 3 week backlog of jobless claims in addition to typically spicier Retail Sales and PPI data. As it stands, Philly Fed was the only scheduled data released at 8:...Read More | ||

| Fairly Flat At Strongest Levels in Weeks 10yr yields ended the day a mere 0.1bp higher than yesterday (4.029 vs 4.028). Call it "unchanged," and no one will argue. In this case, an unchanged result means we"re holding at the best levels since Sep 17. MBS managed to add 2bps to yesterday"s close, and a...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Slip to Another Multi-Week Low | ||
| 10/15/2025 3:26 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates are based on bonds and bonds are trading at their best levels since September 17th. Of course there are different kinds of bonds, so we should specify that we"re talking about the bonds that are specifically tied to mortgages (MBS or mortgage backed securities). With this in mind, it"s no surprise to see mortgage rates a...Read More | ||
