Will Friday’s Jobs Report Push Them Even Lower?
📉 Mortgage rates just hit their lowest levels of 2025—and tariff news is the driving force behind the dip. A sharp drop in the 10-year Treasury yield followed after global markets reacted to fresh tariff headlines, prompting a major sell-off in stocks and a move into bonds. That shift brought mortgage rates down with it.
At ReadySetLoan, we’ve been watching the bond market closely. In this week’s Housing Market Tracker, we pointed out that the 10-year yield was sitting stubbornly high and needed a dose of bad economic news to break lower. That forecast played out exactly as expected—and rates responded.
So, where do we go from here?
🐷 RSL Piggy Points

The 10-year Treasury yield finally broke key resistance levels
Friday’s job report could add more momentum—if the labor market shows weakness
Now may be an ideal window for homebuyers or refinancers to act
RSL Perspective
It’s moments like these where timing can make all the difference. While no one can perfectly predict the bottom, opportunities like this don’t last forever. If Friday’s jobs report shows signs of a slowing economy, rates could slip even further. But if the data surprises to the upside, today’s rates could soon be in the rearview mirror.
That’s why ReadySetLoan is here—to help you navigate this market with confidence. Whether you're buying your first home, refinancing, or just exploring your options, ReadySetLoan is your trusted guide across the finish line.
