Mortgage Guru Podcast13. S03:E02 – What Lurks in the Shadows?
The Mortgage Guru has a fresh new look with a full video recording of me, as I riff in real time about the week in markets and mortgage rates.
This week we had the December inflation data (CPI) and the best mortgage rates in 4-months as the bond market continued to rally, although not as enthusiastically as last week.
Nonetheless, the 10-year closed below the key technical level of 3.50% after hitting cycle highs of 4.25% in November.
Can the bond bulls continue to thwart the bears and keep 3.50% as the new level o...
2023-01-1320 minMortgage Guru Podcast12. S03:E01 – Did The Fed Slay Inflation?
The new year decided to start with a bang!
After a two-punch strike, from the NFP employment data and the ISM Services Sector report, the bond market rallied hard as both reports provided some early comfort, that perhaps, The Fed has slayed the inflation dragon.
In this episode, I unwrap the data I just mentioned above and explain what this means for mortgage rates and the housing market.
HINT:This seems to be the beginning of a new trend lower in mortgage rates, back down to historic averages.

2023-01-0824 minMortgage Guru Podcast11. Ep. #11: The Fed Strikes Back and Hikes Rates Again
The Fed strikes back against animal spirts and investors front-running the potential of a pivot.
The Fed raised the overnight lending rate once again in a telegraphed move of a 50-basis point increase; The Fed Funds Rate now sits at 4.50%.
This is the most aggressive rate hiking cycle in Fed history, adding all 450 basis points of hikes in 2022.
Rate hiking cycles typically end in a recession or a similar type of financial crisis, and that is exactly what the yield curve is implying.
The entire yield curve at one p...
2022-12-1623 minMortgage Guru Podcast10. Ep. #10: The Fed Hikes but Mortgage Rates Drop
It was a jam-packed week with the FOMC rate decision and the first report on Q2 GDP.
The bond market rallied after the Fed raised the policy rate, the Fed Funds, by 75 basis points.
This brought the 10-year Treasury Bond below the 2.75% resistance level, ending the week right around 2.65%.
The yield curve has been inverted across different parts of the curve for months. This is a very strong predictor of recession and just prior to The Fed announcement the 2-year and the 10-year was inverted more than 30-bps.
Speaking o...
2022-07-2935 minMortgage Guru Podcast9. Ep. #9: Red Hot Inflation is Cooking the Economy
The June CPI data came in red hot on Wednesday. The Consumer Price Index, a measure of inflation, reported an increase of 9.1%, the highest reading in 41-years.
As a result the Fed is likely to raise their benchmark Fed Funds Rate by 100 basis point (1%) when the FOMC meets July 26-27.
However, the CPI is a lagging indicator and according to forward looking data it appears the Fed will be aggressively hiking into a recession, which will likely deepen the recession and exacerbate its impact.
The market has been sniffing out the l...
2022-07-1624 minMortgage Guru Podcast8. Ep. #8: Will Fed Rate Hikes Pop the Housing Bubble?
Bond markets were already giving up a portion of the previous week’s big gains before a strong NFP Jobs Report sent the benchmark 10-year Treasury Bond firmly above 300 basis points, ending the week near 3.08%.
A strong labor market gives the Fed the all-clear for additional rate hikes, but with labor participation falling, and wages slowly creeping higher, the tight labor market could continue to keep inflation hot even while the economy shows signs of cooling.
This could mean the Fed will need to remain aggressive even after certain market sectors, such as hou...

With the impact of 40-year high inflation potentially in the rearview mirror, in this week’s episode recorded July 01 2022, Jon discusses the looming risks of recession for the housing market and why this means mortgage rates could be headed for a sharp decline.
