Heavy Selling in Stocks Providing Small Boost For Bonds

Heavy Selling in Stocks Providing Small Boost For Bonds

It doesn't always work like this, but today's overnight session saw the classic "conventional wisdom" trade with stocks prices and bond yields falling in concert. Believe it or not, this is the exception these days. In fact, since late May, stocks and bonds have generally been rallying together. Contrast that to the conventional wisdom trade in which one is losing while the other is winning. These days, it tends to take quite a lot of stock selling to prompt a spillover into bond buying. By that same rationale, it only takes stocks finding their footing for the bond rally to find resistance--something that looks to be happening over the past few hours.

Today's Mortgage Rates
30YR Fixed 6.33% -0.01% 15YR Fixed 5.80% -0.02% 11/4/2025
Up until last week's Fed announcement, the average 30yr fixed mortgage rate was at the lowest levels in more than a year (in many cases, matching the same lows seen on September 16th--the day before the previous Fed announcement). Although these past 2 post-Fed episodes have resulted in somewhat volatile bounces, rates are still far closer to long-term lows than they are to the summertime highs. In terms of MND's 30yr fixed index, we're currently at 6.34% versus last week's...   READ MORE

Not all rates are created equal and not all rates move in the same direction for the same reasons. One of the most common reasons for rates moving in opposite directions is that the underlying bonds, loans, etc. have different terms. In other words, market demand for a 7-year loan can be quite different from a 1-day loan , depending on the day. While a typical mortgage may be ABLE to last ... READ MORE
