Rates Move. We Watch Them
So You Don't Have To.

Mortgage rates are holding in a narrow band this week, with the top-tier 30-year fixed sitting in the mid-6% range and the 10-year Treasury pinned against the same ceiling it's faced since late spring. Translation: bonds are bored, and boring is good if you've been waiting for a window to lock. The bigger swing factor right now is geopolitical headlines rather than domestic data — a real peace deal overseas could move yields meaningfully in either direction, so borrowers close to their number shouldn't assume "stable" means "stable forever." If you're within a quarter point of your target, this is a good week to have a conversation, not a good week to keep waiting for a headline that may never print.
