| Tech Jitters are Back. Bonds Like It | ||
| 10/29/2026 4:08 PM | ||
| Tech Jitters are Back. Bonds Like It As has been the case for the past several weeks, the near-term fate of the rate rally is dependent on tech jitters. While those had leveled off in a sideways pattern over the first few days of the week, they resurfaced today, both at the NYSE open and close. The 4pm move...Read More | ||
| Rates Dip to New Multi-Week Lows | ||
| 10/29/2026 3:16 PM | ||
| After 4 rather uneventful trading days, the bond market (which underlies interest rate movement) experienced a bit more volatility today. Fortunately, it was volatility in a friendly direction. 10yr Treasury yields ended the day at their lowest level since September 22nd. Mortgage rates dropped to their lowest mark since September 23rd for the ave...Read More | ||

| Artificial intelligence continues to capture the imagination of a wide range of companies, including lenders. “Why Underwriting Is the Right Problem for AI to Solve First,” is a topic on a recent Thought Leadership piece. It will be a topic on today’s The Big Picture with James Sais, the head of mortgage lending at Fifth Third Bank. You may be thin...Read More | ||
| No Whammies From PCE Data. Tech Plunge Helping | ||
| 10/29/2026 8:48 AM | ||
| PCE inflation was almost perfectly in line with even the unrounded expectations. The monthly core number was 0.32 vs 0.34 (or .3 vs .3 on most econ calendars). Perhaps the modest miss helps explain the modest drop in yields at 8:30am. All in all though, it was a small enough response as to obviate any further consideration. Bonds experienced ...Read More | ||
| Minimal Impact From Fed | ||
| 10/28/2026 3:50 PM | ||
| Minimal Impact From Fed Fed day has come and gone with minimal fanfare. Markets ultimately found reason to downgrade expectations for future rate hikes (likely due to Warsh"s general "wait and see" comments during the press conference), but at the expense of a bit of weakness in the longer end of the yield ...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Move Modestly Higher | ||
| 10/28/2026 3:15 PM | ||
| Today"s Fed announcement had no impact on mortgage rate movement, and minimal impact on intraday bond market volatility. Well before the Fed announcement, the bond market was already slightly weaker compared to yesterday"s latest levels. As a result the average mortgage lender set rates just a hair higher. Despite the increase, 30yr fixed rates ar...Read More | ||

| The other day I went to Costco, and for $5.99 bought a pumpkin pie the size of a hubcap. What inflation? Costco’s hot dog/soda combo or the rotisserie chicken are loss leaders, but actual gasoline, beef, lettuce, restaurant meals, goods from overseas, and other items’ price changes have kept inflation in the headlines and impacted mortgage rates.

| Bonds Trying to Ignore Tech Sector Healing | ||
| 10/28/2026 9:38 AM | ||
| Coreweave stock moved higher again overnight and Coreweave bond yields continued lower, with some issues now back to yields seen 2 weeks ago. Treasuries/MBS have been doing their best to hold sideways after last week"s rally, but can only do so much when that rally was driven by factors that are visibly unwinding. As for today"s Fed announcement, t...Read More | ||
| Boring, Sideways Day. Does Wednesday"s Fed Announcement Even Matter? | ||

| Boring, Sideways Day. Does Wednesday"s Fed Announcement Even Matter? Neocloud concerns continued to experience a small correction/consolidation after last week"s surge. Interest rates could have justified a bit of weakness as a result, but managed to hold fairly steady. Bond market indecision likely has mor...Read More | ||
