GOOD NEWS FOR RATES THIS MORNING 👏
• CPI came in right where we wanted
• Inflation cooled from 3.5% → 3.4%
• Core inflation dropped to 2.5%
• Mortgage bonds improved 📈
• The 10-year Treasury moved lower
• Translation: Mortgage rates/pricing could improve today
Not a massive rate drop, but definitely a win for buyers this morning.
I’ll be watching pricing throughout the day 👀
