Mortgage Rates End Week at Best Levels

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
Yields are at the lowest levels since November, with stocks slipping from all-time highs and bonds benefiting as a result. The narrow trading range makes it difficult to pinpoint a specific reason for the current movement in yields.

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. Despite this, trading levels remained within the prevailing range and there were no clear reasons for the movements. Overnight, there was modest weakness in MBS and a slight increase in the 10-year treasury yield.

Re-Settling Into Same Narrow Range Amid Lack of Data
Analysts are discussing trading ranges, technicals, asset allocation trade, and Treasury auction ahead of 10yr yields not pushing below 4.0% and slow stock market recovery possibly pulling yields higher.

Calmly Holding in Super Strong Territory
Mortgage-backed securities (MBS) are currently at their best levels in more than 3 years, resulting in verifiably low mortgage rates. There was minimal movement in the market due to lack of remarkable economic data and volatility. Stocks and bond correlations broke down briefly, but could return based on stock movements.

Mortgage Rates Match Multi-Year Low For 2nd Straight Day
The average top-tier mortgage rates reached 5.99% for the first time since January 9th, marking the second time in over 3 years. The rates have held steady for the past 3 days, making it a significant achievement. There is no guarantee that rates will remain low in the future.

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

General Risk Aversion Trade Helping Bonds
Bonds started the day slightly stronger and continued to improve throughout, with the rally coinciding with stock sell-offs. This indicates a 'risk-off' pattern in the broader market amid global trade uncertainty.

Mortgage Rates Dip Back Into The 5's
The average top-tier 30yr fixed mortgage rate fell to 5.99%, matching levels seen in early January due to improvements in the broader bond market and Fannie/Freddie bond buying plans. The gradual decline in rates is seen as sustainable, with no new news causing the improvement.

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. The economic calendar for the week is quiet, with Friday's PPI report being the most relevant, although not highly anticipated. Trade and geopolitical headli... more

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
Bonds experienced volatility in response to a Supreme Court ruling on tariffs, leading to higher Treasury yields and lower mortgage-backed securities prices. However, the reaction was contained, with bonds erasing most of the impact by the afternoon. Mortgage lenders maintained yesterday's rate offerings due to steady bond improvement, resulting in slightly lower average rates overall.

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.

Half-Hearted Correction Continues
Yields rallied 30bps in just over a week but haven't done much over the past 2 days. Bonds have consolidated at slightly higher levels, and any movement will likely depend on upcoming data releases. Today's data showed modestly unfriendly results, including core durable goods at 0.6 vs 0.4 and a lackluster 20yr bond auction.

Builder Confidence Remains Subdued
Builder confidence decreased for the second consecutive month in February according to the NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index. Affordability issues and high construction costs contributed to the negative sentiment. Components like current sales conditions and future sales expectations declined, while buyer traffic remained low. Builders are offering incentives to attract buyers but many are sti... more

Mortgage Rates Tick Microscopically Higher
Mortgage rates only increased by 0.01% today, the smallest change recently. Borrowers likely won't notice much difference compared to yesterday's rates. The lack of improvement suggests the recent decrease in rates may be pausing. Economic reports released on Friday may influence future rate movement.

Key Technical Level, But Does it Matter?
The 10yr Treasury yield is approaching but not breaking the resistance at 4.00%. This level has been a pivot point since late 2022 and has seen resistance frequently since September. Economic data and Fed Minutes are not expected to prompt a break in yield. Without new bullish motivations, yields are expected to remain range-bound.

Mortgage Rates Stay Flat to Start New Week
Mortgage rates remained steady, in line with last Friday's levels, which is a positive development. Rates tend to be more volatile before and after a 3-day weekend, but they are currently at some of the lowest levels seen in over 3 years.

Mostly Holding Last Week's Impressive Gains
Bonds initially continued last week's gains at the start of the session, but these gains disappeared after a few hours of trading. Despite this, the movement wasn't concerning, and it is expected that bonds will stay within a 4.0-4.10% range in 10yr yields.
