No mortgage rates on the board this morning — intentionally.
Yesterday gave us a reference point, but today’s market has enough moving pieces that I’d rather wait and see where pricing actually settles than publish a number that could be outdated a few hours later.
What I’m watching
The bond market is positioning ahead of additional economic information and the Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium — one of the most closely watched gatherings of central bankers and economic policymakers each year.
Why does that matter?
Because comments coming out of Jackson Hole can change expectations around inflation, Fed policy and the economy — and those expectations can move Treasury yields, mortgage-backed securities and ultimately mortgage pricing.
That doesn’t mean rates are guaranteed to make a big move.
It means today is worth watching.
For borrowers already under contract: if you can’t comfortably absorb worse pricing, this probably isn’t the day to get overly aggressive floating.
Know your numbers. Watch the market. Be ready when opportunity shows up.
Stay tuned — I’ll update the board as today develops.
