Heading into next week, we can expect more volatility for better or worse depending on what's in the briefcase. If a peace deal is actually signed, rates would likely drop even more. If hostilities re-flare, we'll continue flirting with long-term highs.

While they're not yet back to the recent long term highs seen on May 19th, rates surged to 2-week highs on Friday after an exceptionally strong jobs report.

This week's improvement was primarily driven by the same thing that's been responsible for most of the volatility over the past 3 months: the Iran war. Starting on Monday (when U.S. markets were still closed for the holiday), news came out regarding The U.S. and Iran being close to agreeing on a one page framework for a memo of understanding that would end the war and begin a 60 day process of hashing out additional details for a permanent peace agreement.

Wednesday ended up being the most interesting day of the week for rate movement thanks to headlines suggesting The U.S. and Iran were close to signing a one page memo to end the war.
