| No, The Fed Didn"t Hike Mortgage Rates Today | ||
| 9/16/2026 5:11 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates are definitely higher today--the highest since January 13th, 2025. Today"s Fed announcement had something to do with that. But while the Fed hiked the Fed Funds Rate, that had NOTHING to do with mortgage rates moving higher this afternoon. In fact, this is very easy see on a chart of bond market movement. We can use 10yr Treasuries ...Read More | ||

| A while back I was watching the news on TV, and they were interviewing a couple whose home was threatened by a tornado, but who didn’t leave. “God will protect us,” they told the reporter as the wind picked up.

| An Uncommonly Interesting Fed Day | ||
| 9/16/2026 9:24 AM | ||
| There are perhaps no other Fed announcements in recent memory worthy of more anticipation than the one we"ll get today. While some of the recent data could be used to argue patience, far more data suggests a hike. The market agrees based on recent moves in yields and Fed Funds Futures. The question remains as to whether Warsh has a firm conviction ...Read More | ||

| 5% Yields Bringing Value Buyers? | ||
| 9/15/2026 9:57 AM | ||
| With no meaningful econ data on tap today and no high stakes events, bonds are left to watch news headlines and attend to last-minute positioning goals before tomorrow"s Fed announcement.
