US Mortgage Rate Rises To 4.32% As 10-year Treasury Yield Breeches 2% (6+ Rate Increases Baked Into Fed Futures Data) – Confounded Interest

Good morning!

US 30-year mortgage rates rose to 4.32% (Bankrate) as the 10-year Treasury yield broke through the 2% barrier. This is happening as Fed Funds Futures are pointing toward 6+ rate increases over the coming year.

Actually, Fed Funds Futures are pricing in 7 rate increases over the coming year.

At least all is quiet on the commodities front.

So, it appears that Fed Chair Jay Powell will follow-through with numerous rate hikes over the coming year.

I guess Powell is tired of being a low-rate chump instead of a high-rate champ?
