| Just a Bit More Selling to End The Week Nothing much new happened in the bond market today and that"s not great because the status quo has been for rising energy prices to push bond yields higher (and stocks lower).

| 3/13/2026 1:12 PM | ||

During that time, our daily rate index went from 6.09% on Tuesday to 6.41% today--the highest since September 4th, 2025. While that"s certainly not the fastest jump we"ve seen, it"s the worst 3-day stretch since early April, 2025. Mortgage rate...Read More | ||

| Decent Start, Lower Oil Prices, Weaker Data | ||

| There"s a high bar for econ data to have any impact on bonds these days and that"s especially true of inflation reports like this morning"s PCE. Thankfully, no one needs to make a case for PCE having an impact, but the small amount of help for bonds came from a big miss in core retail sales and, to a lesser extent, a fairly chunky downward revision...Read More | ||

| The bond market doesn"t look like it can catch a break as long as war persists in Iran. If it"s not oil, it"s fertilizer, nat gas, military spending, or a host of other inflationary knock-on effects that bode ill for the fixed income sector. Yes, the implied economic fallout would help offset the inflationary impulses, but not enough for rates to m...Read More | ||
