With markets closed for the Juneteenth holiday on Friday, Thursday marked the end of the trading week. Considering the sell-off on Wednesday afternoon, the week had the potential to end on an uncomfortably volatile note. Instead, bonds pushed back nicely in the other direction--even though MBS didn't recoup as much of their losses as 10yr Treasuries. True, there is some sense of foreboding in the inability of 10yr yields to move below 4.42%, but all told, the week was actually surprisingly calm after factoring in Thursday's gains.

Since March 1st, the Iran war has been the primary reason for movement and volatility in the bond market. Pre-war motivations were woefully muted. That changed a bit with the jobs report two weeks ago and it changed again with this week's Fed announcement. Thankfully, the damage was quickly reversed...

Low volatility was the most obvious theme for mortgage rates last week. From April 14th through last Friday, the range for a top-tier 30yr fixed rate remained in an ultra-narrow range of 6.29-6.33%. That trend persisted on Monday of this week, but things changed abruptly after that.

Tuesday and Wednesday saw moderately big increases that took the average all the way up to 6.50%. The past two days have been much calmer by comparison, even if rates remain elevated versus last week.

The ongoing conflict with Iran is significantly impacting US financial markets and driving mortgage rates higher for the fourth consecutive week, following a spike in inflation fears and energy prices. The 30-year fixed mortgage rate has reached 6.38%, hitting its highest level in three months as investors react to geopolitical volatility.

The Iran war continues to dominate financial markets and mortgage rates are no exception.

February ended with average 30yr fixed rates at the lowest level in more than 3 years. There's been a grueling march higher since then.

Mortgage rates finished the week at their lowest levels since August 2022. In outright terms, this is far from the record lows, but rates set another kind of record.

In addition to being shortened by Monday's holiday, this week's economic data didn't spark any big reactions in the bond market. Even after The Supreme Court ruled against Trump's IEEPA tariffs, rates managed to end the week right in line with the lowest levels in more than 3 years.

With the announcement that Trump nominated Kevin Warsh to be the new Fed Chair, there's a lot of misinformation and speculation making the rounds regarding the potential impact on mortgage rates. Let's clear it up.
