Mortgage-backed securities (MBS) are down 53 basis points, returning to where they were earlier in the day. This means bond prices have dropped, making borrowing more expensive. The reason? Inflation came in higher than expected.
The Consumer Price Index (CPI), which measures inflation, rose 0.5% in January and 3% over the past year—both higher than economists predicted (0.3% monthly and 2.9% annually). Core CPI, which excludes food and energy prices, also came in stronger than expected at 0.4% for the month and 3.3% annually.
Because inflation remains stubbornly high, the Federal Reserve (Fed) will likely delay any interest rate cuts. Fed Chair Jerome Powell emphasized yesterday that moving too fast on rate cuts could cause inflation to rise again, while waiting too long could slow the economy too much.
Tomorrow, we’ll get new data on jobless claims and wholesale inflation (PPI). As of this morning, mortgage rates are likely to move higher due to these inflation concerns.
