| Mortgage rates were only modestly higher on Friday, but because of the narrow prevailing range and previous increases this week, that brings us right in line with 2-month highs.

| I always wonder, when I see two gas stations near each other in a small town, if the owners agree on pricing and share information. But when you’re dealing with trillions of dollars of mortgages and millions of borrowers, well, that’s a different scale, and the leader and boards of directors should be held responsible if the news is correct. Per th...Read More | ||
| Stronger Start After 7am Magical Mystery Move | ||
| 11/14/2025 8:24 AM | ||
| Bonds were sideways to slightly weaker in the overnight session. 4am to 7am was exceptionally flat and narrow. This is notable because stocks had done more than half of their overnight selling by 7am, and stocks are one of the only scapegoats. In other words, a "flight to safety" (sell stocks/buy bonds) seems to be the only popular explanatio...Read More | ||

| 11/13/2025 7:06 AM | ||
| First off, the market expected a shutdown resolution by mid November and especially since this past weekend. That"s the reason today"s news means essentially nothing in terms of being a surprise headline. On the data front, today is also meaningless in the short term. It"s not as if the backlog of econ data will suddenly be released. Th...Read More | ||
