Your Lifetime Lowdown 03-25-2026 | Update & Info On the Conflict in the Middle East

Mortgage rates saw a slight bump recently and here’s why

With the recent conflict in the Middle East, markets reacted in two key ways:

• Concerns about rising oil prices (which can drive inflation)

• Increased volatility in the financial markets

Both of these can put upward pressure on interest rates. The good news? This may be temporary.

As things settle, markets typically stabilize, inflation fears ease, and rates can move back toward more favorable levels. Time is on our side here.
