When would rates drop?
Mortgage rates track the 10-year Treasury yield. Big drops historically needed one of these catalysts
A recession
Credit demand falls and investors move into Treasuries, pushing yields down
Aggressive Fed intervention
Rate cuts plus buying bonds and mortgage-backed securities force borrowing costs down
Inflation cooling fast
Lenders need less premium over inflation, so yields and mortgage rates ease
A global flight to safety
Shocks send capital into U.S. debt markets, pulling yields down quickly
