Mortgage rates may be headed back toward 7% — but why?

Today on The Rate Update, we’re breaking down what is happening with mortgage rates, oil prices, Iran, bond yields, the 10-Year Treasury, and the bigger question every homebuyer and homeowner is asking right now:

Are rates going higher again — and what should you do next?

We’ll connect the dots between global headlines and your actual mortgage payment, including:

• Why oil prices matter to mortgage rates
• How Iran/geopolitical risk can affect inflation fears
• Why bond yields and the 10-Year Treasury are moving
• What this means for homebuyers watching affordability
• What homeowners should know if they’re waiting to refinance
• How to monitor rates instead of guessing

If you’re buying a home, refinancing, or trying to understand where mortgage rates may go next, this show is built for you.
