Hedging activity has surged, with corporate derivatives around $1.4 trillion in the first half of 2026 and the overall hedging ratio climbing from roughly 22% in 2020 to about 35% in H1 2026, as banks offer subsidies and expanded access to hedging services.

Mortgage rates climb to 14-month high as Fed decision looms — Sep 3, 2026Mortgage rates climbed to about 6.71% for a 30-year fixed, the highest in more than a year, with the 15-year rate near 6.04%, as inflation, Fed policy expectations, and geopolitical factors like the U.S.-Iran conflict and higher oil prices push yields higher. The uptick is squeezing affordability and weighing on housing demand, though some buyers remain active as markets adapt to the new rate environment.

Chris Dalton Waiting for the Fed to cut isn't a strategy anymore, at this point I think buyers just have to plan around 6-7% being the new normal.
