Homes in San Francisco, California, US, on Monday, March 23, 2026. David Paul Morris | Bloomberg | Getty Images The immediate impact of the war with Iran on the U.S. housing market has been a sharp rise in mortgage rates. One day before the strikes began, the average rate on the 30-year fixed loan was 5.99%, according to Mortgage News Daily. It is now hovering around 6.5%. Higher rates have curtailed what was expected to be an improvement in affordability. Not only were mortgage rates falling before the war, but home price gains were shrinking and the supply of houses for sale was rising. All of those favored buyers, who had been up against a tight and pricey market. As interest rates rose last week, applications for a mortgage to buy a home dropped 5% from the previous week, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. But it's not just mortgage rates. Zillow had forecast a 4.3% gain in sales of existing homes this year, compared with last year. "While that of course would not be a strong market, it would represent a market that had turned a corner, with 2026 acting as a 'reset' year," wrote Mischa Fisher, Zillow's chief economist, in a report Tuesday. "However, new uncertainty has emerged via energy prices and inflation concerns, adding fresh complexity to our outlook." Fisher used the increase in mortgage rates, due to increased concerns over inflation and the "potential for a slight uptick in the unemployment rate given reduced consumer spending power resulting from higher prices."

Modeling those, he forecast that if the current scenario only lasted through the end of April, home sales would still rise 3.48% this year compared with last year. If it ended July 1, sales that gain would drop to 2.33%. If it ended Sept. 1, the gain would be 1.21%. Fina...

Sundry Photography/iStock Editorial via Getty Images The U.S. Postal Service is preparing to introduce a fuel surcharge on package deliveries for the first time, as rising energy costs add pressure to its already strained finances, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter. The planned fee, expected to take effect in April, would add about 8% to package shipments and is currently slated to remain in place through early 2027, according to people familiar with the plan. Letter mail would not be affected. Private carriers such as FedEx ( FDX ) and UPS ( UPS ) have long relied on fuel surcharges and have recently increased them as oil prices climbed amid instability in the Middle East. Diesel prices have surged sharply over the past year, driving up delivery costs across the industry. The move marks a shift for USPS, which has historically avoided adding extra fees for fuel, residential delivery or weekend service as a way to compete with private carriers. Financial strain has been building for years at the Postal Service. Postmaster General David Steiner recently warned lawmakers that the agency could run out of cash within a year and urged Congress to ease restrictions that limit pricing flexibility. Much of USPS’s financial burden stems from its universal service obligation, which requires delivery to more than 170 million addresses six days a week. The agency has said most delivery routes operate at a loss, and a majority of post offices fail to cover their costs. In recent years, USPS has leaned more heavily into package delivery to boost revenue. The new surcharge suggests it may now adopt pricing strategies long used by its private-sector rivals.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is working to develop climate models that will help prevent extreme weather events, part of a push to set up a public supercomputer that can use millions of data points to tackle national challenges. Mexican researchers will work along with Barcelona’s Supercomputing Center to standardize Mexico’s weather data to improve climate forecasts and early warnings, according to Fabián Vázquez Romaña, the coordinator of the National Meteorological Service. While still in its early stages, the supercomputer has become one of Sheinbaum’s flagship initiatives. Named Coatlicue after an Aztec deity that was the mother of other gods and a source of energy, the project aims to give Mexico data-processing power equivalent to about 375,000 ordinary computers running at the same time. It will be used for climate predictions, energy planning and corruption prevention, among other issues. The government will spend 6 billion pesos ($340 million) on the supercomputer, which will reach 314,000 trillion operations per second — seven times more than Pegaso, Brazil’s largest supercomputer. Coatlicue will also have more than a hundred times the capacity of Mexico’s most advanced existing system, Yuca, located in Sonora, according to the government. Construction has already begun near Mexico City, though it could take at least two years, Estefanía Capdeville, director of global cooperation at the Digital Transformation and Telecommunications Agency, said Wednesday alongside Vázquez Romaña at Mexico’s consulate in Barcelona. For meteorological purposes, “the supercomputing is needed now,” Vázquez Romaña said. “We can’t wait another two years for everything to be installed in Mexico, he added, highlighting the need to move forward with the help of Spanish researchers.
