| Mortgage Rates Match 2-Month Lows | ||
| 12/26/2025 2:00 PM | ||
| Because mortgage rates are determined by the bond market, a boring market day typically translates to a boring mortgage rate day. But that"s not entirely true today. While the level of movement is indeed very small, it only took a small movement to get the average 30yr fixed rate down to their lowest levels since the end of October. N...Read More | ||

| Technically Open, But Unofficially Still a Holiday Trading Session | ||
| 12/26/2025 9:58 AM | ||
| Although the bond market is technically open today, it might as well not be. Late year holidays (Thanksgiving, X-mas, New Year) depress volume and liquidity more than any others. Today is neither an official holiday nor an early close day, but considering Christmas fell on a Thursday and the federal employee holiday, trading is just as sparse ...Read More | ||
| Decent Gains With Some Help From 7yr Auction | ||
| 12/24/2025 12:18 PM | ||
| Decent Gains With Some Help From 7yr Auction You know it"s a holiday with an early closure if we"re talking about a 7yr Treasury auction having an impact on the bond market. To be fair, 7s have had an impact once or twice in the past, but the bar is certainly high. The holiday calendar makes the bar a bit l...Read More | ||
| Lowest Rates in Nearly a Month | ||
| 12/24/2025 12:01 PM | ||
| It was a short day for the bond market that underlies mortgage rates, but a good one. A side effect of holiday weeks and early market closures is a bit of random volatility without any obvious justification. When volume and participation are low, bonds can move a bit more than they otherwise might. All that to say today"s improvement was luck of t...Read More | ||

| Bonds Are Open... Sort Of | ||
| 12/24/2025 8:26 AM | ||
| While many government employees have the day off today and Friday, these are not new, official Federal Holidays. As such, the bond market is open on the same schedule as always. Incidentally, that"s an early close (2pm ET) on the 24th and a full close on the 25th. This assumes both are weekdays. Official holiday trading hour recommendations are pub...Read More | ||

| Mortgage Rates Ultimately Unchanged After Starting Higher | ||
| 12/23/2025 3:11 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates have broadly been in a narrow holding pattern for the past 4 months and an even narrower range during December. Today will do nothing to change that with the average lender ending the day exactly where they left of yesterday. Earlier today, however, the average lender was offering slightly higher higher rates. The upward pressure ca...Read More | ||
