Mortgage rates and gas prices
Bespoke Investment Group's line chart drew 8.5K views on X: 1.2x its typical post and #9 of 37 Bespoke Investment Group charts we track by views. Read Oct 12, 2026.
During the inflationary pressures of 2022, we created our "MORTGAS" consumer misery index that is simply a sum of the price of gas ($/gallon) and the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate.
Why it spread
It spread mainly because it hit a hot topic that week and drew a top quarter quote rate, with 41 likes, 5 reposts, 3 quotes, 9 saves, and 8,460 views.
What worked
- The post tied a simple branded index to a timely hot topic, which helped it travel beyond the account's usual audience.
- The chart used a line form to show mortgage rates and gas prices over time, making the trend easy to grasp at a glance.
- The post included a source line and medium self labelling, which gave the chart enough credibility to be quoted and saved.
What to borrow
We could build a similarly simple branded index from two familiar consumer prices and post it when that topic is already hot, using a line chart with a clear source line.
Careful
Do not over-read the low design polish or the below average source reach as drivers, and do not assume the quote rate alone caused the spread without the hot topic.
