| What is something that small and mid-sized lenders can’t offer? Chase rolled out a program for borrowers to earn 100,000 Chase Points. (Bilt and UWM rolled out something similar a while back.) But, nearly every lender can help borrowers with the cost of a mortgage, and STRATMOR’s current blog is “Pricing That Can Help Borrowers.” In addition, in th...Read More | ||
| Not The Supertanker Bonds Were Looking For... But We"ll Take It | ||

| There"s a supertanker load of data this morning with some apparently interesting results, but the market remains focused primarily on supertankers being able to transport oil. Those prospects were dealt a fresh blow overnight as both sides reported renewed attacks. Bond yields and oil prices jumped clearly in response, but not in an overly aggressi...Read More | ||

| In a Shocking Twist, Bonds Relive Another Groundhog Day The present week began on a stronger note thanks to news that came out on Monday regarding a U.S./Iran peace deal being within reach. This time around, it was the fact that Iran"s state TV shared a draft of the framework for the memo that serves as the...Read More | ||

| Early in the trading session, the bond market began improving in response to more updates on a potential Iran peace deal. When bonds improve, rates fall, but the initial reaction proved short-lived. Thankfully, the reversal didn"t do any new damage. This allowed the average lender to keep rates right in line with yesterday"s 6.61% for a top-...Read More | ||

| Stronger Start on Yet Another Peace Deal Headline | ||
| 5/27/2026 7:50 AM | ||
| It seems that we"ve seen slight variations on the same peace deal news for the past several days. That"s probably because there is an actual peace deal that"s probably near the actual finish line and that"s probably why the market is actually willing to trade it. This morning"s headlines were as simple as any recent example: Iran"s state TV obtaine...Read More | ||

| Good Reminder That The Market Gets to Decide What Matters If oil, Treasuries, stocks, and the rest of the market were completely closed, and if we could only estimate the probable impact of the news that"s been available over the past 3 days, it would be hard to make that case that bond yields should be any...Read More | ||

| The gap between where rates are and where households “need them to be” is suppressing labor mobility, distorting retirement decisions, and reshaping expectations about generational wealth building: 56 percent of working Americans have either turned down a job requiring relocation or say they would, and 20 percent have already turned down a job, pro...Read More | ||

| On Sunday evening, the NYT ran a story that the U.S. and Iran had agreed in principle to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The key distinction versus previous rumors/reports is that the issue of nuclear material is being left as "TBD." Subsequent headlines mentioned several military strikes, but the market didn"t react (it"s been fairly ...Read More | ||
