Welcome to The Rate Update with Dan Frio — where we break down mortgage rates, the housing market, inflation, and the economic data driving interest rates.

In today’s LIVE event, we’re going deeper than the headlines. We’ll walk through the real financial tools you can use to prepare for buying a home, refinancing, or improving your financial position in 2026.

We’ll analyze:

• The 10-Year Treasury and mortgage-backed securities (MBS)
• Financial tools that can help you qualify for a home
