What Drives Mortgage Rates?

Treasury Yields

Mortgage rates closely track the 10-Year Treasury yield. When Treasury yields rise, mortgage rates typically follow.

Federal Reserve Policy

The Fed sets the federal funds rate, which influences short-term borrowing costs and shapes market expectations.

Inflation

Higher inflation erodes the value of fixed returns, pushing lenders to raise rates to compensate.

Economic Growth

Strong economic data tends to push rates up, while weak data or recession fears push them down.
