Mortgage Rates Are CLIMBING Toward 7%: Homebuyers, Here's Why

Mortgage rates are climbing toward 7%, not the 5.99% many expected. I break down why: oil prices, global bond yields, AI debt, and the Fed's next move, plus what it means for your monthly payment.

📉 Why falling bond prices mean rising mortgage rates
 🛢️ Oil above $90 a barrel and why that's inflationary
 🌍 Global bond yields from Australia to the UK to Japan, and how they pull on your rate
 🤖 How AI companies issuing their own bonds are adding to the debt pushing rates up
 🏦 The Fed meets in 15 days, with a 65% chance of another rate hike
 💵 What this actually costs you: more per month on a $300K, $400K, or $500K home
