Bonds Brace For Stormier Weather After This Week"s Smooth Sailing | ||
7/25/2025 3:48 PM | ||
Bonds Brace For Stormier Weather After This Week"s Smooth Sailing Despite a few inconsequential ups and downs, bonds ultimately traded with forgettable, sideways momentum this week. Friday did nothing to change that--especially after mid-day gains courtesy of optimism surrounding over-the-weekend trade talk...Read More | ||

Mortgage Rates End Week Unchanged. Next Week, Probably Not... | ||
7/25/2025 3:16 PM | ||
It"s no great secret that the outgoing week didn"t offer much in terms of hotly anticipated events with the power to make or break momentum in the rate market. But as it happened, there was ultimately no impact whatsoever by the time Friday afternoon rolled around. Actually, rates were already "unchanged" on the week as of yesterday aft...Read More | ||

Trade Headlines Trump Durable Goods Data, But Minimal Change Either Way | ||
7/25/2025 11:04 AM | ||
Bonds were initially stronger, then weaker in the overnight session. There was a bit of additional selling in the first hour, but none of it corresponded with the 8:30am Durable Goods data. Notably, the data was much weaker than expected. This helps reinforce our lack of interest in this particular report as a potential market mover. Bi...Read More | ||

HELOC Products; HUD, FHA, and Ginnie News; Unscripted Powell and Trump | ||
7/25/2025 10:50 AM | ||
If you want to see an unscripted moment where politics and the central bank collide, thank Ken Sonner for sending over this clip of President Trump and Fed Chair Powell addressing the press. (Complete with pressure for lower rates, a misstatement of the cost, and with the President taking his hard hat off because “there’s not too much danger.”) Eve...Read More | ||

Reasonably Resilient After Data-Driven Selling This morning"s Jobless Claims report was the week"s most relevant economic report apart from the S&P PMI data that came out just over an hour later.

Buyers See More Choices, Lower Prices in New Home Market | ||
7/24/2025 2:54 PM | ||
The latest New Home Sales report (released today) shows a slight uptick in June after last month’s sharp drop. The seasonally‑adjusted annual sales pace rose to 627,000. This represents a modest +0.6% gain from May’s revised 623,000, but remains ‑6.6% below the June 2024 level of 671,000. For all practical purposes, the pave of sales has be...Read More | ||

Mortgage Rates Drift Slightly Higher Again | ||
7/24/2025 2:41 PM | ||
After falling for 5 straight days leading into Tuesday, mortgage rates have now moved slightly higher on each of the past two days. As was the case with the improvement, the bounce back has been exceedingly modest in its pace. In fact, most borrowers will be seeing the same rates today vs last week with only minor changes in upfront costs. Today w...Read More | ||

July 24… While much of the nation swelters, if you live in Utah, it’s Pie and Beer Day. Uh, I mean, Pioneer Day. The average home in Utah now costs $517,000, a 1 percent increase from last year, per this article and very manageable. If this article (showing state-level fraud rankings) is to be believed, Utah has steered clear of a high mortgage sca...Read More | ||

Some Selling Before and After Jobless Claims | ||
7/24/2025 7:47 AM | ||
Jobless claims data continues to defy a majority of other labor market metrics in showing a remarkable lack of any signs of softening. In fact, the 4 week average is now at a 13 week low. While this isn"t the most highly consequential econ data, it"s one of this week"s only actionable reports. As such, bonds are undergoing a s...Read More | ||

Broadly Calm Despite Modest Pull-Back | ||
7/23/2025 3:55 PM | ||
Broadly Calm Despite Modest Pull-Back If anything about the present week required investigation and explanation, it was the justification for fairly decent gains right out of the gate. Today"s weakness, by comparison, is more logical. Why? Broader momentum is sideways and volatility should be lower this wee...Read More | ||
