LIBERATION DAY = Lower Mortgage Rates? Let’s Talk.

Yesterday was “Liberation Day” — not the patriotic kind, but a move from the Trump admin to place reciprocal tariffs on other countries, some as high as 49%.

What’s it mean for YOU and the mortgage market?
• Tariffs = Revenue (for the U.S.)
• Tariffs = Risk of Inflation (prices on imported goods rise)
• Tariffs = Economic Slowdown (consumers may pull back)

BUT right now, we’re seeing the opposite of inflation.
• Fed target: 2%
• Today: 2.8%
• Expected next week: 2.5%
• Mid-May: could hit 2.3%

That means:
Bond yields are falling → mortgage rates are falling.

GDP is also dropping (Atlanta Fed reports -3.7% for Q1 vs +2.3% in Q4). That’s a 6% swing — signaling a potential slowdown. If that continues, it could push mortgage rates even lower.

So while tariffs come with risk, the initial effect is GOOD for rates.

Bottom line:
If you’ve been waiting to buy or refi — now’s the time to start the convo.
