AI EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Mortgage rates have risen to their highest level since June 2025. The increase is linked to higher oil prices following recent attacks in the Middle East, which disrupted expectations for falling rates.
WHY IT MATTERS
Higher mortgage rates increase borrowing costs for homebuyers, affecting the housing market and broader economy.
The expectation had been for falling rates this year, but the war with Iran and its resulting rise in oil prices upended that.
