From Jerome Powell downplaying weak jobs data, to the critical role of the Strait of Hormuz in global oil supply, this episode connects the dots between geopolitics, inflation, and the housing market.📉 But here’s the opportunity: If oil stabilizes and tensions ease, rates could correct quickly - bringing refinance opportunities back into play.⏱ Topics CoveredFederal Reserve update & hawkish shift explainedJerome Powell on jobs, inflation & policy directionWhy weak job data isn’t moving markets like beforeOil prices as the #1 driver of mortgage rates Iran conflict & global economic uncertaintyWhy the Strait of Hormuz is critical to marketsHow oil & 10-year Treasury yields are moving togetherWhy mortgage rates are reacting to headlines (not just data)Inflation pressures from tariffs & energy pricesRefinance strategy: timing the next rate dropMortgage rate spreads & why rates aren’t even higherSpring housing market strength & buyer demand trendsWhat needs to happen for rates to fall again🎙 Understanding these shifts is critical to staying ahead of the market.🔔 Don’t miss out!
