## Resource

Mortgage rates may be headed back toward 7% — but why? Today on The Rate Update, we’re breaking down what is happening with mortgage rates, oil prices, Iran, bond yields, the 10-Year Treasury, and the bigger question every homebuyer and homeowner is asking right now: Are rates going higher again — and what should you do next? We’ll connect the dots between global headlines and your actual mortgage payment, including: • Why oil prices matter to mortgage rates • How Iran/geopolitical risk can affect inflation fears • Why bond yields and the 10-Year Treasury are moving • What this means for homebuyers watching affordability • What homeowners should know if they’re waiting to refinance • How to monitor rates instead of guessing If you’re buying a home, refinancing, or trying to understand where mortgage rates may go next, this show is built for you. LIVE weekdays at 9:00 AM Central Time. No hype. Just real data. 🔗 NEXT STEPS 🏠 Ready to Buy or Refinance?
