| Imagine being stuck at home watching TV for 3 months and only being able to stream one show. That"s been the case for the bond market (which dictates interest rates) since the beginning of March. The show in question involves watching war-related headlines and reacting in roughly the same manner as oil prices. Today"s episode was more interesting ...Read More | ||

| Iran launched missiles at several U.S. allies yesterday afternoon and oil prices responded accordingly with a move back up to May 22nd levels. Treasury yields followed, but have generally been staying lower than the oil price correlation would suggest. 10yr yields continue holding a narrow range between 4.43 and 4.52. They"re roughly 3.5bps higher ...Read More | ||

| Uncommonly Uneventful Day No one will accuse us of clickbait titles today, or even clickbait analysis. There"s just not much to say.

| Mortgage Rates Move Modestly Lower | ||
| 6/2/2026 2:59 PM | ||
| It was an uneventful day for the bond market and, thus, mortgage rates. Unlike the average trading day of late, there were no conspicuous war-related headlines making for shocks to oil prices.

| We saw big ticket econ data move the needle a bit last week and have thus been prepared for this week"s big ticket reports to have a similar chance to cause volatility. For a few moments this morning, that proved to be the case after job openings jumped by the highest amount since early 2021 and hit the highest levels since late 2025. In relative t...Read More | ||

| Yields End Higher Despite Some Mid-Day Solace As has been almost constantly the case for the past few months, today"s ebbs and flows in the bond market were tightly tied to the Iran war news cycle.
