Welcome to The Chrisman Commentary, your go-to daily mortgage news podcast, where industry insights meet expert analysis. Hosted by Robbie Chrisman, this podcast delivers the latest updates on mortgage rates, capital markets, and the forces shaping the housing finance landscape. Whether you're a seasoned professional or just looking to stay informed, you'll get clear, concise breakdowns of market trends and economic shifts that impact the mortgage world.

In today’s episode, we look at why markets remain cautious due to the looming prospect of increased U.S. debt issuance tied to growing budget deficits. Plus, Robbie sits down with Bank United’s Chris Huang to discuss trends that capital providers are seeing in mortgage originators and what to look for in bank partners or warehouse line counterparties. And we look at the substantial pressure being heaped on Fed Chair Powell.
