What moves mortgage rates

Thirty-year mortgage rates track the 10-year Treasury yield plus a spread. The 10-year, in turn, moves on inflation data and Fed-rate expectations. That is why the Fed-rate prediction market is a sensible forward indicator for mortgages.

When cut odds rise, Treasury yields often ease and mortgage rates tend to follow, though the spread can widen or narrow independently.

FAQ

Does a Fed cut lower my mortgage rate?

Not directly. Mortgage rates track the 10-year Treasury and inflation expectations, which often move ahead of the Fed. A cut already priced in may have little further effect.
