  • US Mortgage Rates Rise to 6.11% Amid Iran Conflict Uncertainty
    March 12, 2026, 1:22 PM EDT. US mortgage rates surged to 6.11%, driven by investor concerns over the economic fallout from heightened tensions following President Donald Trump's military actions in Iran. The increase marks the largest weekly jump since last spring, reversing recent gains in housing affordability. The 30-year fixed mortgage rate typically follows the 10-year Treasury yield, which climbed to 4.25%, its highest since February, due to geopolitical instability pushing oil prices higher and complicating Federal Reserve policy. Rising rates threaten to dampen the spring homebuying season, making entry difficult especially for first-time buyers. Experts warn that the housing market's recovery hinges on how prolonged the Iran conflict becomes and its impact on inflation and energy costs.
