Mortgage rates are moving in real time — and today we’re breaking down the economic news, housing data, Treasury yields, oil prices, inflation concerns, and geopolitical headlines that are driving the market. Today’s big question: Are mortgage rates finally getting relief from weaker economic data — or will oil prices, inflation concerns, and global uncertainty keep pressure on bonds and rates? In this episode, Dan Frio breaks down: • ADP payroll numbers and what they signal about the labor market • Why a cooling jobs market matters for mortgage rates • Case-Shiller home price data and what it means for buyers • Consumer confidence and buyer sentiment • Iran, oil prices, and inflation risk • Treasury yields, bonds, and MBS movement • Why mortgage rates do not follow the Fed directly • What homebuyers and homeowners should watch next If you’re buying a home, refinancing, or waiting for rates to improve, this episode will help you understand what is really moving the mortgage market today. 🔗 NEXT STEPS 🏠 Ready to Buy or Refinance?
