The Federal Reserve's anticipated rate cuts are unlikely to mirror in mortgage rates, echoing last fall's paradoxical rise when the Fed eased policy. Mortgage rates, currently at 6.58%—their lowest since October 2024—already price in future Fed actions, with bond yields and economic data driving volatility.
