Mortgage Rates Aren't Trading With the Consumer Price Index
The Fed has said prepare for us to take this rate up to five percent, whatever. And we're going to hold it there for now. So a hold is the equivalent of a raise in this analogy they've been saying.

They trade with the Consumer Price Index because people feel like they don't really have a choice at the Fed.
