Your mortgage rate moved today, and it wasn't the Fed.
The U.S. Treasury just announced it's doubling its bond buybacks after 30-year yields hit their highest level since 2007. Within hours, the 10-year yield dropped, and that's the number that actually drives your mortgage rate. Josh and Jeb break down what happened, why it matters more than most headlines you'll see this week, and whether it's a real reason to lock now or just short-term noise. Plus the rest of this week's mortgage and housing news.
Then they open it up for live questions.
