Opendoor (OPEN) stock slips as inflation data and Fed countdown reset the housing-rate trade

Opendoor (OPEN) stock slips as inflation data and Fed countdown reset the housing-rate trade

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 09:32 EST — The regular session is underway. Opendoor Technologies (OPEN.O) shares dropped roughly 3.4% to $6.77 in early Wednesday trading, pulling back after last week’s strong rally in housing-related stocks. The pullback is significant since Opendoor is closely tied to interest rate movements. Mortgage rates influence homebuyer demand, and because Opendoor keeps homes in inventory, its financing costs are directly affected. The stock’s recent volatility comes after a Jan. 9 surge in housing-related shares, triggered by President Donald Trump’s directive to buy $200 billion in mortgage bonds — specifically mortgage-backed securities linked to home

Mortgage rates today: Rocket stock slips as 30-year fixed moves back above 6%

NEW YORK, Jan 14, 2026, 06:43 EST — Premarket Rocket Companies shares slipped roughly 1.9% to $22.76 in early trading on Wednesday, as mortgage stocks lost momentum and investors monitored borrowing costs. UWM Holdings edged up 0.7%, while loanDepot dropped around 4.6%. Mortgage insurers MGIC Investment and Radian Group each declined about 7%. The reason this matters now is straightforward: rates hover in a tight range that still determines if borrowers refinance, shop around, or hold off. For lenders, just a few tenths of a percentage point can quickly impact application volume and gain-on-sale margins. Mortgage News Daily’s latest index

New York, January 13, 2026, 09:09 EST — Premarket update Opendoor Technologies shares slipped 3.5% to $7.02 in premarket Tuesday, deepening the slide before the open. Why it matters now: Opendoor’s performance hinges on housing demand and financing conditions, with its stock often reflecting changes in rate expectations. Investors look to inflation data to anticipate the Fed’s next move—and the potential impact on mortgage rates and home sales. U.S. consumer prices climbed as anticipated in December, leaving markets fixed on the Fed’s likely decision to keep rates steady at 3.50%-3.75% during its Jan. 27-28 meeting.

Opendoor stock dips as Trump mortgage-bond boost cools; CPI next for OPEN

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 10:53 ET — Regular session Opendoor Technologies (OPEN.O) shares dropped 3.2% to $7.06 in Monday’s morning session, retreating from recent gains sparked by U.S. housing policy news. The stock swung between $6.94 and $7.25, with roughly 26.1 million shares traded by 10:53 a.m. ET.
