Mortgage rates moved mainly because bond markets repriced expectations around inflation and the future path of Federal Reserve policy, which directly affects longer-term yields. Elevated inflation, volatility tied to energy prices and global conflict/news, and shifts in expected Fed rate cuts pushed Treasury yields and bond prices, feeding through to 30-year fixed mortgage pricing.
