Mortgage rates have climbed to their highest point since June 2025 due to rising oil prices caused by new attacks in the Middle East.

This rise comes as recent attacks in the Middle East have driven oil prices upward, impacting financial markets globally.
Initially, experts anticipated mortgage rates would decline this year, but the conflict involving Iran has disrupted those expectations.
Higher oil prices often lead to inflation concerns, which can prompt lenders to raise mortgage rates to offset risks.
As a result, homebuyers and those looking to refinance are facing higher borrowing costs amid this geopolitical tension.
