🚨 Morning Predictions ~ All 👀 Are on the Bond Market ~ 6-30-2025
Market Reports Updated at 3:30 👍🕞
🌞 Good Morning Metro Detroit! 🌞 I’m tracking early movements 👀 through 1:00 pm, as this is critical when lenders typically finalize rate revisions. That’s how you know when to lock your rate on the downturn. A little later than normal. I wanted to see how the market would react to the Senate’s version of the Big Beautiful Bill, knowing it would add approximately $3.3 trillion to the deficit.
💥 Today’s Mortgage Rate WHY!
🏛️ Bond Market Reaction to Senate Bill
The bond market opened with minimal change this morning. 📊 It’s essential to watch more than just daily yield ticks. Economic trends, such as inflation data, job reports, and the Treasury’s long-term bond auctions, play a significant role. When the Treasury sells those bonds, the yield it must offer to attract buyers sends a clear message. If demand is weak and higher yields are required, 💥 mortgage rates can spike. However, if demand is strong and yields hold steady—or even drop—rates may dip. These auction outcomes provide a window into market confidence and can shift mortgage rate predictions in real-time.
🌍 Foreign investors are gradually shifting their investments away from U.S. Treasuries, favoring German Bunds, French bonds, and other global options. This shift is putting upward pressure on Treasury yields, forcing the U.S. to offer higher returns to attract buyers, and as those yields rise, 🏠 mortgage rates inevitably follow.
🧾 With the Senate passing a deficit-expanding bill expected to add $3.3 trillion over the next decade, bond traders are bracing for increased government borrowing. That means more Treasury supply, increased investor hesitation, and greater pressure on rates to rise. For now, mortgage rates remain stable, but this calm may not last if concerns about the deficit continue to push yields higher.
🧠 Why Interest Rate Dip Won’t Fix This
Lowering interest rates doesn’t reduce owner’s equivalent rent. Mortgage rates are driving rent trends and freezing inventory. The deficit and the Treasury bond yield are fueling this fire, not the Fed Policy. So the Fed is treating a cost-based inflation problem with a demand-crushing tool. That’s why real estate and small businesses feel the pain, while inflation stays sticky.
💡 The Bottom Line
If the government doesn’t stop feeding the deficit, everything will cost more — from cars 🚗 to homes 🏠 to your credit card APR 💳.📈 Government spending is the real issue — to fund the deficit, they sell bonds. However, the Treasury must offer a much higher yield because investors are wary. That high yield means more interest to pay, which creates more debt, forcing them to…👉 Sell even more bonds — at even higher yields.

📢 Your Formula for Early Mortgage Rate Predictions ~ 6-30-2025
📌 10-Year Treasury Yield: Your Mortgage Rate Base will Skyrocket today 📈
The 10-year Treasury yield is where it all begins. The yield number sets the tone for mortgage rates. So far this morning, the bond yield is stable and ticked up slightly. To know WHY, the answers are at the end, “What My Crystal Ball is Telling Me About the Market Today. 🔮
🧠 Two Forces Drive the Bond Market
1. The Long End of the Curve (10-Year Treasury) ~ This is where mortgage rates take their cues. The deficit impacts how the Treasury raises money by selling bonds to pay debt. That’s why economists have predicted mortgage rates will stay between 6.5% and 7%. Due to spending, the bond market won’t go down easily.
2. The Front End of the Curve (Short-Term)
This is based on the Fed’s interest rate policy. The market is priced in two rate cuts for this year, and now we may see an adjustment to one. The Fed does this to fight or slow inflation and stabilize the economy. Know the difference between Mortgage rates and interest rates.
📌This is where the Formula Starts ⤵️

🚨 Revision
Two Mortgage Rate Day?
🤯 Remember: Lenders may adjust mortgage rates up or down if the 10-year yield shifts by ±0.020% until 1:00 PM. I’m watching 👀 to see if this spike holds or if we get a late-day correction lower.
Mortgage-backed Securities (MBS) Prices ~ The Unsung Hero 🏆or Silent Killer
The second piece in determining mortgage rates is the all-important Mortgage-Backed Securities. Historically, the 50-year average between the 10-year Treasury yield and MBS rates has hovered around 1.72%. Right now? We’re still well above that. The average for the past few months has been around the high 2.45% to 2.5% range.
Why does that matter? Lenders use that spread to price mortgage rates. Fewer home sales result in fewer mortgages, which in turn means fewer mortgage-backed securities enter the market. A lower supply equals higher risk premiums, which translates to higher mortgage rates. So, yes, fewer homes sold feed into higher mortgage rates.
📌 Today’s MBS price Gap: will they be our Hero 🦸 or Villain 🦹
MBS prices are about the same as they were on Friday and may have little impact on mortgage rates today.
- 🦸 Hero Mode: When Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) prices go up, it means investors are willing to accept lower yields in exchange for the stability of mortgage payments. That puts downward pressure on mortgage rates.✅ Result: Lenders can offer lower interest rates because the value of the mortgage bond (the MBS) is stronger. It’s a win for buyers, refinancers, and anyone seeking to secure a better deal.
- 🦹Villain Mode:
Falling MBS prices mean investors demand higher yields to take on mortgage risk, creating upward pressure on mortgage rates.❌ Result: Lenders increase rates to keep spreads profitable or temporarily pause quoting.
Buyers lose buying power—and urgency to lock becomes critical.

🔮 Today’s Mortgage Rate Prediction ~ 6-30-2025 ~ Updated at 3:30 🕞
So far this morning, the 10-year Treasury yield has increased slightly and remains stable, and mortgage rates may follow suit. We are watching for possible afternoon bond sell-offs 👀 if rates shift at 1:00. This blog post will update the latest bond yield by 12:30ish and lender updates by 3:30. 💥The below examples show why you need to know how your lender will handle mortgage rate shifts and what time they determine their rates.
🔷 Scenario #1 Predictions: first yield report:
The 10-year bond yield has increased by 0.010%, so today’s mortgage rates in this scenario could remain at 6.72% and the MBS Gap would be adjusted down by 0.010%.
Scenario #2 Predictions: Second Yield Report
I’m👀 Watching trends between 11:00 and 1:30 for stabilization or revision regarding MBS Prices and the bond yield. This is why it’s essential to know when your lender updates their rate sheets, how frequently they will post them, and under what circumstances they will change their rate price sheet during a specific window. 🚨There has been a slight downward movement from noon to 4.253%. I will pick up a range today of 6.70% to 6.72%, depending on how the lenders want to handle the slight 0.10% decrease in the yield.
🚨♦️ Scenario #3 Revision ⤵️: Lender Revision around 3:00 🕞
If the bond market cools off or spikes, you could see a Lender rate revision based on the yield trends after the original rate price sheet was released. 🚨 This could be a revision day. The yield is lower by .030%. Lenders could maintain the rate at 6.72 and attribute it to volatility, or post a price rate revision closer to the 6.66% to 6.68% range for two reasons. The yield went down, and better yet, MBS Prices went up and closed the gap. MBS will be the hero 🦸today.

🕐 Afternoon Update: Where Did Mortgage Rates Land? 6-30-2025 ~ MDN updated at 4:00 🕓
⏳ Your Afternoon Why: ON hold due to rates being late
You might’ve noticed Mortgage News Daily held off on posting final mortgage rates today. Lenders typically prefer not to reprice unless the market is volatile, as it is today. I’ll admit I was shocked to see scenario #3 held, and rates dropped by 0.05% from Friday. Here’s Your WHY…
🧠 What It Really Tells Us
- Faith in MBS is back — Lenders clearly saw strong enough investor appetite for mortgage-backed securities to compress the spread and offer better rates. That’s not just rate-driven, it’s confidence-driven.
- Consumer risk isn’t scaring investors—yet — That’s likely what shocked both of us. Despite weaker GDP and slowing personal spending, the MBS market didn’t flinch. In fact, it priced tighter.
- Lenders are betting on stability — Even with political chaos and deficit headlines, desks took the lower MBS gap as a green light. That’s either optimism, data we don’t have yet, or a controlled risk strategy tied to upcoming employment numbers and Fed talk.
🔮 Crystal Ball Outlook
📌 Rates don’t drift toward 6.75% because everything’s going great—they fall like this when the market starts bracing for weakness. ⚠️Inflation isn’t the driver anymore. The real story is cooling demand, rising credit stress, and global risk pricing. 📉💳🌍If this trend holds, it’s not a win—it’s a warning. 🚨
🤔 Who’s Pulling the Strings Behind Mortgage Rates When the bond yield spikes?
🏆 MBS Price Gap can be used to correct when the yield plummets or spikes. It’s a way for regulators to balance chaos and volatility.
🔹 It’s often the Federal Reserve, especially the New York Fed Desk. Even when they’re not engaging in Quantitative Easing (QE), they remain active behind the scenes. They rebalance portfolios, roll over maturing securities, monitor the increase in demand for mortgages, and reinvest principal payments. 💼 It’s done behind the scenes at their discretion.
These quiet moves help stabilize spreads and prevent sudden spikes in mortgage rates. You won’t see it in headlines, but it plays a huge role. 💡♦️ The Treasury creates the pressure (by issuing more bonds). 🔷 The Fed is the only one who can relieve it (by influencing rates or supporting MBS demand). Neither sets the MBS gap directly, but the Fed can nudge it lower through policy or buying signals.

⌛What My Crystal Ball 🔮 Tells Me About the Future Mortgage Market
Let’s be real—all the tools we once used to measure the economy and mortgage rates are useless now. 🛠️🚫. Economists predicted mortgage rates would hit 6.62% in Q1 ending March 31; it was close. March closed out rates at 6.74%. Mortgage Rates spiked in April, reaching a high of 7.09%. 📈 Unless something drastically changes, economists will need to revise their mortgage rate projections again. 🚨Closed out Q2 close at 6.67%. National Association of Home Builders wins this round. 🥳 Now will it hold? 🤔
❓ Why are The Feds and Wall Street on Edge?
👉 First, understand how tariffs can affect the 10-year Treasury bond and Mortgage-backed Securities by checking out “Why Mortgage Rates and the Bond Market Are at Risk: Trade War Fallout“ for important details.
📌 WHY?
🏛️ Why Wall Street Hasn’t Panicked Yet
Currently, we’re seeing signs of stagflation, not a recession. GDP has slipped into negative territory, consumer spending is weakening, and inflation remains sticky. So why isn’t Wall Street reacting? Why are bond yields falling and stocks still holding? The answer may lie in the timing of the tariffs and how investors expect them to ripple through the economy.
🧾 CPI Jump Wasn’t Demand — It Was a Pre-Tariff Rush
📦 The recent CPI uptick wasn’t driven by surging demand—it was likely the result of businesses and consumers front-loading purchases to beat tariff increases. That artificial bump in spending raised prices temporarily. But once the tariff-loaded goods hit shelves, the picture could change fast.
Here’s the catch: someone has to absorb the cost of those tariffs. And it’s becoming clear—it may not be the consumer. If retailers can’t pass those costs along without killing demand, they’ll have to eat the margin hit. That could squeeze corporate profits, pressure stock prices, and force a shift in investor sentiment.
When retail earnings fall, Wall Street notices. If confidence cracks, we could see a rotation out of stocks and into bonds, even at lower yields. That would push yields down and mortgage rates with them, but not for healthy reasons.
This wouldn’t be a rally based on growth. It would be a retreat to safety in the face of weakening fundamentals.
Falling rates may feel like relief—but if they’re driven by margin loss and shrinking growth, that’s not a win. It’s the market bracing for impact.
🎯 Bottom Line: What I’m watching Closely 👀
Because I watch the trends daily, I’m bracing myself. Trump and his team may not just break the government budget—they could drag the Treasury market down with it. 📉 The bond market hasn’t panicked yet, but the pressure is building beneath the surface.
I trust Powell for being cautious right now. 🧠 With yields rising, spending slowing, and inflation still sticky, this is no time to play politics with rate cuts. If I were sitting at the Fed table, I sure wouldn’t cut rates with what we’re seeing unfold. ⚠️
Yes—investors appear to quietly shift toward safety in anticipation of a possible geopolitical escalation with Iran.
The 4.2**% yield drop is your clue: bond buyers are making moves even if the headlines haven’t hit yet. We’ve entered a new economic phase where the old rules no longer apply. The Fed 🏦 may be unable to delay a pivot much longer. Inflation is no longer the only metric. Between the tariffs and “The Big Beautiful Bill“, the bond market is the canary in the coal mine, and it’s gasping. 🐤
💥 The Treasury’s Dirty Little Secret is OUT!
For decades, the U.S. Treasury quietly relied on foreign nations to bankroll our debt, with China and Japan footing the bill. Still, that cozy setup is falling apart thanks to escalating trade wars and ballooning deficits Whether you love or hate President Trump, his aggressive tactics pulled back the curtain and exposed just how fragile our financial system is The result The bond market is on edge, with fewer willing buyers and a government scrambling to stay afloat. ⚠️💣
💠Furthermore, as the Fed pulls back and global buyers disappear, the question becomes: Who will buy all our debt bonds? GDP contracted, and now tariffs are part of our economy; I’m afraid to see what May’s report will reveal. This is scary stuff. Perhaps the government should reconsider its approach to buying and selling government bonds.
