| As a testament to just how confident the market is/was that neither side is overly interested in escalating the Iran war, Tuesday night"s ceasefire deadline has come and gone with surprisingly little fanfare. Yes, the ceasefire was technically extended, but the more relevant point is that oil prices have traded inside a 4 dollar range that covered ...Read More | ||

| 4/21/2026 1:49 PM | ||
| Technically and officially, today"s average top tier 30yr fixed mortgage rate is the highest since last Monday.
