Big Bad Day For Bonds. What's Next?
Bonds sold off early and aggressively on Monday due to higher oil prices implying higher inflation and rates. The sell-off was attributed to timing, technical factors, and the goal of re-entering the 4%+ range. Despite closing at 4.04%, it's considered a short term reset with no guarantee of additional momentum. Sharp selling started at 7am with 10yr up 5.9bps at 4.009 and MBS down a quarter point... more

Mortgage Rates Jump Back Into The 6's
Mortgage rates started the week in the low 6% range. Despite attempts to link market movements to geopolitical events like developments in Iran, the primary influence on rates seems to be upward pressure on oil prices leading to higher inflation implications. However, historical data reveals that there isn't always a direct correlation between oil prices and bond market movements. Economic strengt... more

Starting Out Under 4.0% Despite Hotter PPI
Despite previous instances of relevance almost two years ago, today's PPI results have shown that it currently holds no significance as a market mover for bonds. The small bump in yields this morning, potentially in reaction to PPI, was quickly erased and is uncertain to be directly tied to the data.

Knock Knock Knockin' on 10yr Floor
The bond market is approaching 'floor' levels in the 7yr Treasury yield and 10yr yield. There isn't a clear motivation for these movements aside from general stock market malaise and economic uncertainty. Overnight trading has been choppy and sideways with MBS and 10yr yields fluctuating slightly throughout the day.

Best Week For Mortgage Rates in Years
Today's average top-tier 30yr fixed mortgage rate has increased to 6.00%, up from 5.99% earlier in the week. However, the overall stability in rates over the past 4 days, with an average of 5.995%, is still considered positive news for borrowers as it is the lowest weekly average in over 3 years.

Back to The Stronger End of The Range

In-Range PM Weakness
The bond market experienced some volatility today with weaker opening levels leading to a mid-day rally, but ultimately ending with steady selling in the afternoon.

Re-Settling Into Same Narrow Range Amid Lack of Data

Slower Start, More Sideways. Stock Lever in Play
Today, volume and volatility are lower compared to yesterday, but there is still a theme of risk aversion in play. It is difficult to determine if risk aversion is causing the movement in stocks and bond yields or if there is just a correlation between the two. Both stocks and bond yields have increased slightly from yesterday's lows and have been mostly flat so far today. The economic calendar is... more

Stronger Start. Quiet Calendar
The bond market is starting the week slightly stronger but remains within its current trading range. There were no significant market movers over the weekend, with some uncertainty surrounding tariffs and trade weighing on investor sentiment.

Tariff Ruling Tried (And Failed) to Steal The Show
On Friday morning, news of the Supreme Court striking down the IEEPA tariffs had some impact on bond markets, leading to some volatility with less than a 3bps movement in 10yr yields. However, most of the movement was recovered as the day progressed. Despite some fluctuations, the MBS remained relatively unchanged throughout the day.

Mortgage Rates End Week at Lows

Opening Salvo of Data Fails to Inspire
GDP missed expectations largely due to non-economic reasons such as federal worker labor during the shutdown and late-breaking changes in the trade gap. More economically indicative metrics suggest a sideways drift. Monthly PCE inflation was slightly higher than expected in December with no significant impact on bonds.

Mortgage Rates Hold Flat on Thursday Despite Lower Weekly Average
Top-tier 30yr fixed mortgage rates stayed unchanged, aligning with the lowest levels in over 3 years. However, recent lower rates on Jan 9, Jan 12, Feb 13, and Feb 17 challenge the claim of rates hitting a 3-year low. Freddie Mac's weekly survey data supports the assertion of lowest rates in 3 years based on the average rates from last Thursday through yesterday.

Accidental Clairvoyance (Not Really...)
Bonds are weaker without any specific fundamental reason, with trading being driven more by technical factors. Jobless Claims data came in better than expected, but this didn't help bond performance. Yields have reached 4.10, and the market is waiting for Friday's economic data before making any significant moves.
