Mortgage Rates Bounce But Remain Lower on The Week
6/13/2025 2:11 PM
The top tier 30yr fixed mortgage rate index rose 0.04% on Friday, which would be a medium-sized defeat in and of itself. In the broader context, however, it was an acceptable adjustment on what has otherwise been a solid week.  Specifically, today"s rates are still 0.08% lower than last Friday"s. There were no standout individual sources of i...Read More

Opening Weaker Despite Israel/Iran Headlines
6/13/2025 8:53 AM
By 8pm last night, news of Israel"s attack on Iran erased an entire week of stock market gains and pushed bond yields to the lowest levels in more than a month. Given the alarming nature of some of the headlines, it"s only natural to assume that markets were only getting started with the "risk-off" trading pattern.  Natural, yes... but not nec...Read More
 
Thursday"s Data Offered No Objection to Overnight Rally
6/12/2025 3:13 PM
Thursday"s Data Offered No Objection to Overnight Rally Thursday"s PPI was just as tame as Wednesday"s CPI and, for a moment, it looked like bonds were going to offer an encore performance of the post-CPI rally.  But in Thursday"s case, bonds had already rallied nearly that much in the overnight sessio...Read More

Higher Bar For Additional Gains Despite Lower PPI
6/12/2025 9:02 AM
This morning"s PPI did its best impression of yesterday"s CPI with the core monthly number coming in at 0.1 vs 0.3 forecast. In yesterday"s case, this was good enough for a reasonably big rally.  Today, not so much.  While bonds did manage to add to overnight gains in the immediate wake of the data, they"re pushing back above pre-data yie...Read More
