Everyone blames the Federal Reserve for high mortgage rates—but that's not what's happening.

Mortgage rates just climbed back to 6.6%, even though the Fed didn't raise rates at all.

In this episode of Wall Street Truthbombs, Mark Malek explains the hidden force actually driving mortgage rates: exploding government borrowing, Treasury yields, and the growing federal deficit.

You'll learn:
• Why mortgage rates follow the 10-year Treasury—not the Fed Funds Rate
• How nearly $10 trillion in Treasury borrowing is pushing rates higher
• Why homebuilders are cutting prices but buyers still aren't buying
• Why Fed rate cuts may not make housing affordable again
• The structural forces freezing today's housing market

If you want to understand where housing is headed next, this is one video you can't afford to miss.
