📈 Market Commentary – What May Have Moved Rates Yesterday
- The yield on the 10‑year Treasury dropped to around 4.00%, which helps lower borrowing costs overall. (FRED)
- Fixed income and MBS (mortgage‑backed securities) markets rallied last week, with MBS seeing gains — that tends to support slightly lower mortgage rates. (Nuveen)
- Ongoing economic uncertainty (such as incomplete data releases due to the government shutdown) is causing the bond market to react to technicals rather than strong fundamentals — meaning rates are more sensitive to small moves in yields. (firstwestmortgage.com)
