The week started off promising, with rates improving early on. But after the Fed meeting and Chair Powellโs press conference, markets reacted negatively, and mortgage rates finished the week a bit higher. Since the Fed cut had already been priced in, rates moved up when Powell signaled the Fed wouldnโt be aggressive with future cuts.

Mortgage rates currently reflect two more Fed cuts at the remaining meetings for 2025. But if Fed members speaking this week shake confidence in those cuts, mortgage rates could drift upward.

- Economic data: There isnโt much data this week to influence mortgage rates, and what little there is comes late in the week. The Fedโs favored inflation gauge, the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) index, is unlikely to surprise and isnโt expected to move mortgage rates much either way.
- Fed speakers: This week is filled with Fed members making appearances and sharing their outlook on the economy and policy. If their comments make traders doubt the expected Fed cuts, mortgage rates could creep higher.
