Global events can influence mortgage rates, even when they happen far from home

Recent conflict in the Middle East has pushed oil prices higher and created uncertainty in global bond markets.

Variable rates haven’t changed yet, but the outlook for future rate cuts is becoming less certain. In times like these, the most important step is having a mortgage strategy that fits your financial situation and risk tolerance.
