Wondering why mortgage rates are still going up

1. **Investor Concerns About Monetary Stimulus**: The introduction of additional monetary stimulus into the economy has led to increased investor concerns, which can contribute to rising mortgage rates.

2. **Economic Data and Government Finances**: Strong economic data and concerns about government finances can lead to higher mortgage rates, even when the Fed cuts rates.

3. **Market Dynamics**: The spread between mortgage rates and benchmark rates like the 10-year Treasury yield can widen due to various market dynamics, leading to higher mortgage rates despite Fed rate cuts.
