• Is This The End of The Friendly Trend? November 10, 2026
  Is This The End of The Friendly Trend? Bonds weathered their biggest day of selling since September today and their only notable day of selling since the recent downtrend in rates began in mid-October. The blame game was simple: CPI was much higher than expected and there were no silver linings in the report's internal […]
• Mortgage Rate Sharply Higher After Inflation Data November 10, 2026
  Rates enjoyed a remarkably calm winning streak over the past month with the worst single day resulting in a 0.06% increase for a top tier 30yr fixed loan and the average day seeing a 0.02% decline. That streak was dealt its first serious blow today following a hotter than expected in the Consumer Price Index […]
• Accounting, Processing, HELOC, AI Governance Tools; Webinars Approaching; Gov't Product News; CPI November 10, 2026
  “I found a 95 year old painting in my attic. I asked him to leave.” Humor aside, many people have been asked to leave places like Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Go Mortgage, Onity, and others. It isn’t surprising, and the reductions are, in fact, a sign of the times given the time of year and […]

  Some inflation reports have counterpoints even if they appear high at first glance. This one is just all-around not great for bonds.

And much like Friday, bonds opted to hold fairly steady. Granted, there was certainly weakness after the 9:30am NYSE open, but not as much as you might […]
• Mortgage Rates Mostly Steady Despite Stock Market Bounce November 9, 2026
  Last Thursday's stock market sell-off was a key factor in driving mortgage rates to the lowest levels in more than a month. More broadly, tech stock jitter have clearly correlated with multi-week trend toward lower rates that began in mid-October. As such, any time we see a pronounced bounce in stocks, we might be somewhat […]
• Ops Efficiency, Non-QM, AI Governance Tools; M&A Strategy; Election Results and Lending; FEMA Changes November 9, 2026
  All of you out there wishing there were fewer people on the roads or in line at the post office, take heart. Lenders with a long time horizon, not so much. Apparently, even paradise is having trouble keeping its population up: The Census Bureau released updated projections through 2100 for 25 countries and U.S. territories, […]
