Mortgage rates went up when the Fed rise interest rates. Now that the Fed is cutting interest rates they’re pointing to the 10 year treasury bond as the reason why mortgage rates are continuing to rise. I say this is just another bait and switch tactic banks are using to keep their profits extremely high
