What will move mortgage rates this week?

🚨 ONE HEADLINE COULD SEND MORTGAGE RATES MOVING THIS WEEK! 🌍

Forget the usual economic calendar for a moment. Global instability may be the biggest factor influencing mortgage rates this week!

🇮🇷 Iran and Middle East tensions

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russia's war in Ukraine

🇫🇷 Civil unrest in France

And we still have important U.S. economic reports:

🏠 MONDAY: Builder confidence remains weak

🏗️ TUESDAY: Housing starts, permits & pending home sales

💼 THURSDAY: Weekly jobless claims

📈 Inflation fears could push mortgage rates higher.

📉 Safe-haven Treasury buying could push them lower.

⚠️ The direction isn't guaranteed, but volatility is a real concern!
