Mortgage Rate Update April 17 2025

April 17, 2025 by Ron Henderson

The financial markets have been chaotic lately. The treasuries and mortgage backed securities have had huge swings within hours of a tweet from the White House. Tariffs and the possibility of inflation can push rates higher… meanwhile Inflation eased in March, with the headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) dropping to 2.4% year-over-year from 2.8% in February. This progress was driven in part by falling gasoline prices. Core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy costs, also declined to 2.8% year-over-year from 3.1% the prior month.

As markets digested implications of several fiscal policy changes over the past 2 months, a predictable trading pattern emerged. Stocks and interest rates moved lower together. This isn’t always the way things work, but it is typical during moments where investors are rapidly shedding risk and seeking safer havens.

International currency and bond markets made investing in US bonds more risky because of the erratic and constantly changing policies being bantered. Last week we had over a ½% swing in the 30 year mortgage rate.

Over the past few days markets stabilized (to some degree) and a good, old-fashioned flight to safety helped the bond market realize some decent gains. At this point, bonds are right back in line with the flat, narrow range seen between late February and late March.

Although it’s far too soon to declare victory against that volatility, we’re now seeing the bond market (the thing that dictates interest rate movement) act a bit more like its normal self… At least till the next tweet…
