Rates are lower for the second week in a row. Much of the last two weeks has followed the same pattern:

Morning headlines claiming a peace deal as been reached, oil sells off, rates follow oil lower. Afternoon headlines denying a peace deal, oil and rates move higher, but highs are lower and lows are lower.

Crude oil closed May down 17%, which is good news for future inflation reports. On Thursday, we received April’s PCE Inflation report. Both Headline and Core came in lower-than-expected MoM, +0.4% vs +0.5% expected and +0.2% vs +0.3% expected. Between rumors of peace deals and a reasonable PCE inflation report, the 10-Year Treasury failed its recent breakout above resistance levels. It’s too early for a victory lap, but there is enough for optimism.

Mortgage Myth Busted đź‘€!

Shopping around for a mortgage won’t tank your credit score the way many people think. Multiple inquiries within a short window are usually treated as ONE—so go ahead and compare your options with confidence.

Quick mortgage tip đź’ˇ

Paying off your credit card might lower your score—temporarily!

Sounds backwards, right? That’s why having a strategy matters when you're preparing to buy a home!

Interest rates closed higher this week. The 10-Year Treasury currently sits at 4.30% which is the midpoint between the high yield and low yield so far this month. The 10-Year is also sitting at the midpoint of the wedge pattern that has been forming since March 2023. The 10-Year Breakeven rate is at 2.433%, showing no signs of stress. Bond Volatility has been crushed after spiking in March. Interest rates are right where they should be. Elevated energy prices continue to push near to inflation expectations higher, but longer-term inflation expectations remain stable.

Retail Sales, the only major economic indicator released this week, beat expectations, rising +1.7% MoM vs expectations of +1.4%.

The Federal Reserve will meet on Wednesday next week. Interest rates are expected to remain unchanged. On Thursday we will get the March PCE report. Headline inflation is expected to come in at +0.6% MoM. Core inflation is expected at +0.3% MoM.

Interest rates closed lower this week for the third consecutive week.

Headline whiplash dropped WTI to $86/bbl. For now, it appears the Straight of Hormuz is open for business. Peace talks will continue over the weekend. There is 29% chance of a peace deal within the next week according to Polymarket.

Existing Home Sales slumped -3.6% in March at an annualized pace of 3.98MM.

PPI confirmed the same story as CPI last week. Headline inflation is up due to increasing energy costs (+0.5% MoM) while core inflation continues to come in below expectations (+0.1% MoM). Final Demand Services was 0.0% in March. If the Straight of Hormuz truly is open, one might expect the core inflation figures to remain low enough for the Fed to resume rate cuts. Powell’s term will be up in 28 days and a new Fed Chair would likely be eager to deliver rate cuts. Fed Funds Futures have improved steadily. December 2026 currently has a 65% chance of a 25 bps rate cut.
