Oil Spikes, Mortgages Follow — 2022–2026

Mortgage rates and oil prices share a hidden connection that most homebuyers never see coming. When crude oil spikes due to geopolitical conflict, inflation follows — and the Federal Reserve responds by raising rates, driving your 30-year fixed mortgage higher. From a 2.67% mortgage rate low in 2020 to 6.85% by 2024, the correlation is undeniable. Oil rose 23.5% since 2016. Mortgage rates rose 38.4%. This chart shows both lines together — and the story they tell will change how you think about world events and your monthly payment. Watch the 2022 divergence. That's where everything changed. If you're buying a home, refinancing, or just trying to understand why housing feels impossible right now — this data is for you. #mortgage #inflation #oilprices
