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 l6QNNSJtLfO LAthkGYSIEF MdtaabZQ29q 2rXGPqphBMV LlanUHg945s ewy8LBFKvVE 4QLL2C2c1JN
