Mortgage Rates Just Took a VIOLENT Turn... | Ep. 47
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, including attacks near the Strait of Hormuz and escalating Iran conflict, are driving oil prices higher, fueling inflation fears, and pushing mortgage rates up again in 2026.
In this episode of The Mortgage 101 Podcast, we break down the "perfect storm" hitting the housing market: global energy shocks, bond market volatility, housing supply lock-in, soaring consumer debt, and why mortgage rates follow the 10-year Treasury yield—not just the Fed.
Discover how these colliding forces are affecting homebuyers right now, bust common myths about rate movements, and get practical navigation tips amid headlines and misinformation.
