Here's what happened: Wednesday's war news pushed rates higher, but Friday's surprise was the jobs report actually moving markets. Employment numbers came in strong which is great for the economy, but not great for mortgage rates. Why? Because strong employment means the Fed is less likely to cut rates, and markets were pricing in those cuts. This week: CPI and PPI data on Wednesday and Thursday could move things. But honestly, we're still watching the war more than anything else. The big question: Does this resolve, or does it drag on and escalate? #mortgagenews #michaelweber #webermortgage #birminghammortgage #mortgagenewsupdates gwH2rCq3VT3 lQARTIHZma4 l2WiNw24fe2 ErzTCbJ6yGV oz9tokCt2c9
