4-bullet brief | narrative

The Kalshi prediction market prices only a 2% chance the Freddie Mac 30-year fixed-rate mortgage average falls below 5.75% in 2026.
With the 30-year Treasury yield reaching 5.44%, the bond market selloff is fully consistent with mortgage rates staying elevated, reinforcing the near-zero Kalshi probability.
A sub-5.75% mortgage rate requires a dramatic and rapid reversal in Treasury yields, which current Fed posture and inflation data make implausible.
Resolves via the Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Situation report; any upside labor surprise would further pressure yields and reduce the already-thin probability.
