Weekly Mortgage Rates Stable But Could Be Poised to Fall

President Trump’s announcement of 10% tariffs on all imports did not have a significant impact on mortgage interest rates, as they dropped only one basis point to 6.76% the week ending Apr. 3. However, the tariff news could potentially lead to lower rates due to investors’ shift towards bonds in response to the announcement. Bonds are seen as a safer investment option compared to stocks amidst the uncertainty caused by the tariffs.

The demand for bonds has already driven down Treasury bond yields, which in turn affects mortgage interest rates. Mortgage rates are closely tied to 10-year Treasury bonds, as they reflect the long-term borrowing costs that influence mortgage rates. Additionally, mortgage-backed securities, which are investments made from bundled home loans, attract similar investors to Treasury bonds, further impacting mortgage interest rates.

The Federal Reserve’s next steps in response to the tariffs remain uncertain. The Fed may consider cutting rates if economic data suggests a downturn, which investors increasingly believe is likely. The probability of a rate cut from the Federal Reserve has risen following the tariff announcement, as traders anticipate a potential economic slowdown.

While the majority of traders do not expect a rate cut, the possibility remains if inflation accelerates due to higher prices caused by tariffs. Maintaining stable prices is a key goal for the Federal Reserve, and they may adjust interest rates to control inflation if needed.

Candidate Trump’s promise to lower mortgage rates may have unintended consequences, as emergency actions taken by the Federal Reserve to combat economic damage from the pandemic led to historically low mortgage rates. While lower rates benefit homebuyers, the economic repercussions of such actions should be carefully considered.

Overall, the impact of tariffs on mortgage rates remains uncertain, with various factors influencing the direction of interest rates in the future. The interconnected nature of economic factors underscores the importance of monitoring developments to understand the implications for mortgage rates.
