What's inside

A morning brief written so anyone can use it.

Live rate environment

2Y, 10Y, 30Y Treasuries plus the 30Y mortgage average and the MBB ETF. Day-over-day deltas in basis points, color-coded for direction. Auto-pulled from FRED + Yahoo Finance.

Plain-English commentary

Three short sections every morning: what's moving today, what to watch this week, what's coming next. Written so a brand-new LO can follow and a 20-year senior LO finds it useful.

Lock vs. float bias

One-word read on the day from the brief: lock, float, or neutral. Informational only. You make the call; we give you a starting point.

30-second video script

One click turns the morning brief into a 30-second vertical-video script in your voice. Read it straight to camera. Pro tier and up.

Borrower email drafts

One click drafts a "here's what changed today" email to active borrowers, in your voice. Edit before sending. Pro tier and up.

Agent partner update

Short market note for your Realtor partners: what changed, what it means for buyers shopping this week, one specific action. LO-to-agent voice. Pro tier and up.

How it works

Data sources

Public-domain federal data. Nothing licensed, nothing redistributed.

Every number on the Market Desk comes from a public-domain or freely-redistributable source. We do not license OBMMI, MBS Live, or any other paywalled feed — and we don't redistribute their data either.

What we use:

  • FRED (Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis) — Treasury constant-maturity yields (DGS2, DGS10, DGS30), Freddie Mac PMMS 30-year and 15-year mortgage averages, Fed Funds upper bound. Public domain.
  • Yahoo Finance — MBB ETF spot price, 15-minute delayed. Free public quote endpoint.
  • Anthropic Claude — writes the morning commentary using the live rate context. Reviewed editorially before publishing.

Cite us if you want — we cite our sources in the footer of every brief. The commentary is informational and is not financial, legal, or investment advice. Lock/float bias is a directional starting point, not a recommendation.
