Contact / Ask Dan https://www.therateupdate.com/contact MORTGAGE RATES COULD PLUNGE TODAY — HERE’S WHY Oil prices are crashing on hopes that the Iran conflict may be nearing a resolution — and that could be a major turning point for mortgage rates. Why does this matter? Because when oil spikes, inflation fears rise. When inflation fears rise, bond yields usually move higher. And when the 10-Year Treasury and mortgage-backed securities get hit, mortgage rates often move higher too. But today, the opposite may be happening. Oil is falling. Treasury yields are dropping. Bond markets are rallying. And mortgage rates may get a second chance to improve. For homebuyers, this could mean better affordability. For homeowners, this could reopen refinance conversations. And for anyone who thought they missed their chance, today’s market move could be the reminder that mortgage rates can change fast. In today’s video, I break down: ✅ Why oil prices matter to mortgage rates ✅ How Iran peace hopes are affecting the bond market ✅ Why the 10-Year Treasury is so important ✅ What this could mean for homebuyers ✅ What homeowners should watch before refinancing ✅ Why this is NOT the time to guess — it’s the time to monitor your numbers No hype.
