| 10/8/2026 8:36 AM | ||
| Bonds were initially moderately weaker this morning morning in a move that followed oil prices and hawkish Fed comments. Chris Waller said more hikes were needed due to a strong economy, persistently high inflation, and the risk that inflation expectations would become unanchored after 5.5 years above target. This hit the short end of the curve&nbs...Read More | ||

| Full Recovery! The patient looked critical this morning with 10yr yields pushing up to new long-term highs just over 5.36%, but by the early afternoon, there was a full recovery. In fact, most of the recovery arrived after 9:30am ET (and before 11am ET). Any time 9:30am kicks off a big move, we think about ...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Started Much Higher But Almost Fully Recovered | ||
| 10/7/2026 2:50 PM | ||
| It was an exciting day for mortgage rates, and while we technically ended up slightly higher, it could have been much worse. In fact, it WAS much worse earlier in the day, but only for about 30 minutes. Our daily rate index can be updated throughout the day if mortgage lenders change their rates in sufficient numbers. If we reported only the...Read More | ||

| If there"s been a safe bet to make on isolated rally days over the past 2 months, it"s that they"ll be soon followed by a return to the prevailing trend toward higher rates. Today fills that role with gusto. We hate gusto--this kind anyway. Unfortunately, this kind of gusto is all we have, and there"s no convenient, singular explanation even though...Read More | ||

| Today Was "Nice" For Bonds Bonds bucked their prevailing trend and managed to move slightly lower in yield today. Unlike yesterday"s session which had no clear correlation with underlying events, today"s move traced a drop in oil prices fairly clearly.

| Mortgage Rates Near 1-Week Lows | ||

| Mortgage rates actually fell today--something they"ve done only 7 times since August 25th. While the outright levels remain near the highest since 2003, they"re near the lowest in just over a week with top-tier 30yr fixed rates down to 7.56% for the average lender. What gives? Is this a sign that recent upward momentum is starting to wane? It"s to...Read More | ||

| Overnight Adaptive Cruise, Following Oil | ||

| If rate movement were a car, it"s been driving pretty recklessly recently, and definitely not keeping good pace with other motorists. But every now and then, we see a break in the craziness. The overnight trading session provided an example. The bond car set its adaptive cruise control to follow the car in front of it (oil prices, in today"s case)....Read More | ||
