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.

Bonds Rally, Ignoring Surge in SuperCore CPI
The CPI came in slightly below forecasts at the headline level and in line with forecasts at the core level. Shelter components, particularly Owners' Equivalent Rent, continued to decrease. Despite a surge in the supercore reading to the highest levels in a year, the bond market seems willing to look past this development, focusing more on the decline in housing-related metrics. 10yr yields are do... more

Bonds Close Out Epic Week of Resilience With Friendly Data
Despite events throughout the week that should have led to higher rates, bonds ended up at stronger levels. The main theory for this unexpected outcome involves heavy liquidation in stocks and commodities on Thursday. The upcoming holiday weekend positioning could also be a contributing factor. More information will likely be revealed next Tuesday, especially if stocks see a significant bounce.

Mortgage Rates Oh So Close to 3 Year Lows
After an announcement that Fannie and Freddie would buy mortgage-backed securities, rates fell to their lowest levels in over 3 years. Rates have remained steady, with recent improvements bringing lenders close to long-term lows. Lower inflation in the January Consumer Price Index report has contributed to the recent strength in rates.

Slower Data. Slower Morning
Big jobs reports can lead to increased momentum and volatility in the bond market in the following days, setting the tone for the month until the next jobs report. Despite some data indicating a slight increase in jobless claims, the trading day has been fairly average and uneventful.

Yields Magically and Mysteriously Sink to Lowest Levels in 2 Months.
The 10-year yields reached the lowest level since December 4th, 2025, at just over 4.10%. The gains were attributed to a flight to safety driven by heavy selling in stocks and commodities, despite the lack of major data to explain the trend. There was a mini-snowball rally with the help of stock losses, resulting in the best levels of the day.
