Although mortgage rates worsened slightly, the changes were minimal. Quoted rates stayed mostly the same, but rebate pricing, the cost to buy down a rate or the credit toward closing costs, was a bit worse as markets waited for new data now that the shutdown has ended.

Markets will finally get some of the delayed data this week, although it will be older information. The White House has said that more recent economic data from October may โlikely neverโ be released since little was collected during the shutdown. This means mortgage rates arenโt likely to make any big moves, but we could still see day-to-day volatility as markets try to gauge where the economy and labor market are heading into 2026.

- Old data: The September BLS labor data will be released Thursday, and while itโs outdated, markets will still respond. This report is normally a major mover, but given its age, the reaction will likely be more muted.
- The Fed: Fed members are indicating they donโt support a December rate cut, and that stance has recently nudged mortgage rates a bit higher.
