Middle East tensions are impacting the US bond market, causing mortgage rates to tick upward. The 30-year fixed mortgage rate rose to 6.11%, reversing recent declines. This surge, driven by inflation concerns from higher oil prices, is overriding softer economic data and potentially delaying Federal Reserve rate cuts, further pressuring the already slow housing market.
