Trump's Presidency Keeps Mortgage Rates Elevated Despite Fed Cuts

TL;DR
Despite recent Federal Reserve interest rate cuts, mortgage rates have surged following Donald Trump's election win, reaching 6.98%. This increase is driven by rising 10-year Treasury bond yields, which reflect expectations of stronger economic growth and higher inflation. Market forecasts suggest mortgage rates will remain elevated around 6% into 2025, influenced by potential deficit spending and tariffs under Trump's administration.
