Why Aren’t Mortgage Rates Falling?

 


Consumer borrowing costs haven’t tracked the Fed since it cut rates by half a percentage point in September

 If the Fed Is Cutting Rates, Why Aren’t Mortgage Rates Falling?

The central bank lowered its benchmark rate by a quarter-percentage point Thursday, following its half-point cut in September.

But the average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage has gone in the opposite direction since the Fed’s first cut, 

rising by more than half a percentage point to 6.79% this week,  

It might keep climbing, tracking the recent rise in the 10-year Treasury yield.
