| In-Range PM Weakness | ||
| 2/25/2026 3:45 PM | ||
| In-Range PM Weakness Viewed under a microscope, it may have seemed like today was a relatively volatile session for the bond market. Weaker opening levels in Treasuries gave way to a mid-day rally that nearly got rates back to unchanged levels. But the afternoon saw steady selling that took bonds to t...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Mostly Holding Long-Term Lows | ||
| 2/25/2026 2:37 PM | ||
| It may not be as glamorous as being able to say mortgage rates are "in the 5s," but at 6.00%, today"s MND rate index is a mere 0.01% higher than yesterday"s multi-year low. For all practical purposes, this means the average borrower will see almost exactly the same rates as yesterday. In many cases, the quotes will be exactly the same.&...Read More | ||

| It is no secret that Congress and regulators have trouble keeping up with technology. But is an AI “conversation” with a borrower any different than a questionnaire given to that same borrower? Will the line be drawn at RESPA items? Can regulators audit transcripts of AI “conversations” without court orders? (One way to have the “inside scoop” on i...Read More | ||
| Re-Settling Into Same Narrow Range Amid Lack of Data | ||
| 2/25/2026 8:42 AM | ||
| Some days, there"s a lot to say about what"s going on in the bond market. Other days are like today. Analysts have to lean on themes like trading ranges, technicals, and the asset allocation trade (buy stocks / sell bonds, and vice versa). Incidentally, those default explanations continue to hold some water with 10yr yields once again hesitant to p...Read More | ||

| Calmly Holding in Super Strong Territory MBS may not be quite as high as they were yesterday, but in the bigger picture, today"s levels are right in line with the best we"ve seen in more than 3 years. More importantly, mortgage rates are verifiably at the best levels in more than 3 years. There was no major...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Match Multi-Year Low For 2nd Straight Day | ||
| 2/24/2026 2:53 PM | ||
| The average top-tier mortgage rates made it back to 5.99% yesterday for the first time since January 9th and only the second time in more than 3 years. With rates holding perfectly steady today, this is the 3rd day that matches that multi-year low. In one important way, the past 2 days represent a bigger victory for rates. Back on January 9th, the...Read More | ||

| Slower Start, More Sideways. Stock Lever in Play | ||
| 2/24/2026 8:31 AM | ||
| Volume and volatility is lower this morning compared to yesterday, but the same theme of risk aversion looks to be in play, probably. Why "probably?" Because the theme in question (risk aversion, or what we sometimes refer to as the "stock lever") oftentimes makes it hard to distinguish between correlation and causality. All we know so far to...Read More | ||

| General Risk Aversion Trade Helping Bonds Bonds began the day in just barely stronger territory but continued to improve throughout. The first rally followed the 8:20am CME open--a common time of day to see a bit of extra momentum and volume. The next leg of the rally played out in the 10am hour which is wh...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Dip Back Into The 5"s | ||
| 2/23/2026 10:53 AM | ||
| This coverage is coming out earlier than normal due to a more interesting headline than normal. The average top-tier 30yr fixed rate fell back to 5.99% today, matching the levels seen only briefly back on January 9th, 2026 when the Fannie/Freddie bond buying plans were announced. Much like the last time, there"s always a risk that something happen...Read More | ||
