Mortgage rates are moving faster than most people expect.
Sometimes they change daily.
The Market Is Data Driven
Rates react to:
inflation reports
jobs data
retail sales
wage growth
Each report can move the market.
If inflation comes in hot, rates rise. If it cools, rates fall.

Markets Are Forward Looking
Mortgage rates are based on expectations.
If investors think inflation is coming, rates rise before it even shows up.
That is why trying to time the market is so difficult.
