30-Year Fixed Mortgage
30-year fixed holds firm at 6.43%, offering minimal refi appeal relative to the existing stock.
4.48%
10-Year Treasury
The 10-year at 4.48% anchors long-end pricing; the 31-bp spread to the 2-year reflects persistent Fed terminal-rate expectations.
4.17%
2-Year Treasury
The 2-year at 4.17% reflects near-term rate expectations; a steeper curve typically cushions shorter-duration hedges but pressures long-duration MSR value.
3.63%
Fed Funds Rate
The Fed Funds Rate at 3.63% (as of June 1) anchors the policy floor; the gap to the 30-year suggests measured long-term inflation pricing.

S&P 500
The S&P 500 at 7,483 shows equity resilience, a signal that credit conditions remain loose and refinance demand may not spike soon.
What it means for your shop
Refi incentive stays muted at 6.43%, capping origination momentum; the wider curve signals duration risk for MSR portfolios if long rates begin to normalize downward.
