After holding steady at the start of the week, mortgage rates inched upward, continuing their rise after reaching the lowest levels of 2024 in September.

Rates have already increased on Monday, and thereโs little to suggest a reversal this week. Just a few weeks ago the outlook pointed to rates slowly decreasing, but now the trend has flipped and we could see rates continue to climb.

- November's approach: Though itโs a couple of weeks away, November could bring increased volatility. With jobs data, the election, and the Fed meeting on the horizon, mortgage rates may face even more upward pressure.
- Economic data: Only a few economic reports are expected later this week, but if they indicate a strong economy, it could push rates even higher.
- Fed rate cuts: Markets now expect a quarter-point policy rate cut at the November Fed meeting, with a 75% chance of another cut in December. If speculation of further cuts declines due to strong economic and labor data, mortgage rates may rise.
