On June 19, as tensions in the Middle East eased and inflation concerns cooled, U.S. mortgage rates fell to their lowest level in a month, providing some relief for homebuyers. Freddie Mac stated in a release on Thursday that the average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage dropped from 6.52% a week ago to 6.47%. A year ago, this rate was 6.81%. After a tumultuous period of significant fluctuations in borrowing costs, the spring home sales season is nearing its end. Previously, mortgage rates surged due to the outbreak of conflict in the Middle East at the end of February. However, the announcement of a temporary peace agreement this week and news of the potential reopening of the Strait of Hormuz have contributed to a decline in oil prices, helping to alleviate upward pressure on mortgage rates. The spring sales season has shown unexpected resilience. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) reported on Wednesday that the number of pending home sales rose by 3.8% in May, although it remains at historically low levels. This metric is more forward-looking than sales volume, and the increase in pending sales indicates that buyers may be gradually adjusting to higher rates. Nevertheless, affordability remains a concern. According to a report from Redfin, the median monthly mortgage payment in the U.S. rose to $2,647 in the four weeks ending June 14, marking the highest level in a year and only about $100 below the historical peak recorded in 2023.

On June 19, Iran's Supreme Leader Mujtaba Khamenei stated in a written message to the Iranian nation regarding the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding: As you know, a memorandum has been signed between Iran and the U.S. President. In reaching this stage, officials have made numerous efforts in good faith and sincerity. Of course, the U.S. President, out of desperation, has employed various means to facilitate this matter. Initially, I held a different opinion, but given that the respected Iranian President, as the head of the Supreme National Security Council, promised me on behalf of himself and other members to uphold the rights of the Iranian people and the resistance front, and clearly expressed a willingness to take responsibility for this, I ultimately granted my approval. He also stated that if the U.S. side makes excessive demands, they will be rejected. From this moment on, we will wait for the implementation of the aforementioned conditions.

On June 19, according to reports from the US on June 18, US Vice President Vance criticized Israel for showing "strange panic" and "hysteria" regarding the memorandum of understanding reached between the US and Iran during an interview. Officials from various political factions in Israel, including some allies of Prime Minister Netanyahu, have expressed criticism of the US-Iran memorandum, stating that it "fails to address Israel's concerns about Iran's nuclear program and ballistic missile program, and will constrain Israel's military actions against Hezbollah in Lebanon." During the interview, Vance accused Israel of lacking trust in the US. He stated, "We have done very well for this country (Israel) and its government. I think the claim that we reached a bad agreement (the memorandum) is not factual and makes no sense from the macro perspective of the long-term relationship between both sides. Israel assumes that everything favorable to Iran will happen—without any change in Iranian behavior. But that is not what the agreement (memorandum) states." (CCTV News)
