Mortgage rates continued to creep higher last week, feeling some pressure from the announcement of more tariffs and ahead of this week's inflation data. Although rates haven't made big moves higher, they are more in line with what we saw earlier in June before rates dropped.

This week will start quietly, with no economic data on the calendar for Monday, but could be volatile after that depending on how inflation and other economic reports come in for the week. If rates move higher, they could match the highs from May and June, but would likely fall again eventually (though that will take weeks). However, there is a chance data could help hold rates steady. Only time will tell.

- Inflation data: Tuesday brings consumer inflation, which is expected to start showing effects from already implemented tariffs by moving higher. After that comes wholesale inflation, retail sales, and consumer sentiment data, all reports that will be watched by markets and will affect mortgage rates this week.
- Tariffs and trade wars: Rates will react to announced tariffs and deals to cut or eliminate tariffs.
