Sceptical

The evidence points to mortgage rates rising sharply in both the US and UK, worsening affordability and weighing on housing activity. US rates were reported at fresh three-year highs after seven consecutive weekly increases 25, while StoneX’s Matthew Johannes said further Treasury-yield rises could push mortgage rates higher still and damage affordability 7. Against that, Scott Bessent and Donald Trump were reported as expecting mortgage rates and broader interest rates to fall, with Bessent linking that outcome to the end of the Iran conflict 34.

From the window to Oct 12, 05:30 ET — this window's take is still to be written.
