🚨 BIG WEEK AHEAD FOR MORTGAGE RATES.

If you’re watching mortgage rates, this is one of the most important weeks of the month.

We’re getting FOUR major employment reports in four days:

📊 Tuesday: JOLTS Job Openings
📊 Wednesday: ADP Employment Report
📊 Thursday: Jobless Claims
🔥 Friday: The BLS Jobs Report



Why does this matter?

Because the strength of the labor market can have a major impact on bonds, and mortgage rates follow the bond market closely.

A stronger-than-expected jobs picture could put upward pressure on rates.

A weaker-than-expected labor market could give bonds and mortgage rates some relief.

And Friday is the BIG one.


The market will be watching job creation, unemployment, wage growth and revisions to previous months.


🏠 If you’re buying a home or thinking about refinancing, this is a week worth watching closely.

Rates could look very different by Friday.

🚨 This could be a BIG week for mortgage rates.



We’re getting several reports that could move the bond market:

🏠 Case-Shiller home price data
🔥 PCE inflation
📈 Q2 GDP revision
👷 Jobless claims
🚨 QCEW jobs revisions
🏦 Fed Chair Kevin Warsh at Jackson Hole



PCE will tell us what’s happening with the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation.



But I’m especially interested in Friday’s QCEW revisions. We may get a much clearer picture of how many jobs the economy actually created.



And then Warsh takes the stage at Jackson Hole.



With the 10-Year Treasury hovering near a critical level, there is plenty here that could move mortgage rates.



I’ll be watching it all week.

🏠 Housing is slowing.
👷 The labor market is weakening.
📉 Buyers are pulling back.

So why aren’t interest rates falling?

Because the economy is sending conflicting signals.

Housing starts plunged 12.4% in July. Pending home sales fell again. Continuing unemployment claims remain around 1.8 million.

But inflation hasn’t disappeared. Oil prices are moving higher. 🛢️ And at the Fed’s last meeting, THREE policymakers actually wanted to RAISE rates. 📈

That’s the problem.

Economic weakness creates pressure for lower rates.

Inflation creates pressure in the opposite direction.

⚠️ And this is exactly why I keep warning people not to build a homebuying strategy around the assumption that dramatically lower rates are “right around the corner.”

Buy when the numbers work for you.

If rates improve later, refinancing may give you another opportunity.

But hoping for lower rates isn’t a financial strategy.

🚨 Mortgage rates could be in for a BIG week.



Friday’s weak jobs report changed the conversation.

📉 23,000 jobs lost in July
📉 Another 103,000 jobs disappeared through revisions
🏦 Another Fed rate hike just became harder to justify



Sounds great for mortgage rates, right?



Not so fast.



🔥 INFLATION IS NEXT.

Wednesday’s CPI report could be one of the biggest mortgage-rate movers of the week.



Cooler inflation + weaker employment could give bonds a reason to rally and mortgage rates a chance to improve.



Hot inflation could send yields right back up.



That’s why I’m staying cautious:

🟡 MORTGAGE RATE SCORECARD: NEUTRAL / CAUTIOUS

📅 What Actually Mattered This Week

Forget the headlines...



Here’s what really moved the market:

🏛️ The Fed held interest rates steady.

📉 Core PCE inflation improved again.

🏡 Home prices continued climbing.



So what does it all mean?



Mortgage rates are still being driven primarily by inflation.



Every report matters, which is why mortgage rates can change so quickly from week to week.



If you’re trying to buy a home or refinance, understanding these reports can make a real difference.

Everyone wants to know where mortgage rates are headed next.

This week could provide some important clues.

📊 Tuesday brings the JOLTS Job Openings report.

📊 Wednesday we get the ADP Employment Report.

📊 Thursday includes Challenger Job Cuts and the ISM Services Index.

📊 Friday brings the monthly Jobs Report, which is often one of the most important economic reports for mortgage rates.

But there is another factor that could matter even more.


🌎 Any developments involving Iran, oil prices, or broader geopolitical tensions could influence inflation expectations and financial markets throughout the week.


Mortgage rates are heavily influenced by inflation expectations, economic growth, and investor demand for bonds. That’s why these reports matter so much.

I’ll be following every major release and sharing what it means for homebuyers, homeowners, and anyone watching the housing market.

Which do you think will matter more this week: the jobs data or the geopolitical headlines?
