𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 👍
Good news for last week as mortgage rates improved to end the week slightly lower than the week before. It wasn't a big improvement, with most borrowers seeing better rebate pricing rather than actual lower rates, but it was still welcome after seeing rates creep higher the last couple of weeks.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝘃𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗲 ⚠️
Rates will take their cue from this week's labor market data, but shouldn't make any big moves higher or lower regardless of which direction they go. The outlook for the near future is that rates will continue to move higher or lower day-to-day, but not make any big moves without something changing in the economic or labor market outlook.

📈 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸:
- Jobs data: This week will be filled with different jobs reports starting on Tuesday, with Friday's BLS jobs data having the biggest effect on mortgage rates.
- Tariffs and trade war: Despite recent positive news, tariffs continue to be a concern to markets with talk from other countries of retaliatory tariffs. Retailers are starting to talk about passing along the increased costs to consumers, which will drive up inflation and could pressure mortgage rates higher.

Mortgage rates moved higher last week, despite little economic data to give rates direction. Fed speakers continued to deliver a unified message that patience is paramount as the Fed waits to see how current tariff policy affects inflation and the economy.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗿 👎
Although the week is starting out with some early improvements for rates after the holiday weekend, it is unlikely that rates improve much from here. The flip side is that rates are also unlikely to make any big moves higher.

📈 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸:
- The Fed: Markets will digest the minutes from the Fed's last meeting, and will be looking for signs that the Fed may be willing to cut rates in the second half of the year.
- Economic data: Consumers are more confident about the economy than last month's near 5-year low consumer confidence reading.
- Inflation: The Fed's favored gauge of inflation will be released on Friday, and is expected to show that inflation continues to move lower. However, concerns remain that prices may move higher soon as tariffs start to trickle down to the consumer level.

Mortgage rates actually crept to the highest levels midweek despite better than expected data showing inflation continues to cool. Rates rallied a bit to end the week, improving from the worst levels, but still ended the week slightly worse.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗿 👎
Rates moved higher throughout last Friday, and with a light week for economic data, we could see them continue to drift up. Markets have lowered expectations to just two Fed rate cuts this year and are feeling more upbeat about the economy thanks to new trade deal announcements. That optimism makes it unlikely mortgage rates will drop much, if at all, from here.

📈 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸:
- Fed speakers: There are a plethora of Fed officials that will be out speaking this week. Although they are unlikely to say much that will rattle markets and affect mortgage rates, it is possible markets will look to them for direction.
- Memorial Day: Markets will close early on Friday at 2pm ET and will be closed Monday. Most lenders will tend to price more conservatively on a holiday weekend, meaning rates may be slightly worse than they normally would be based on market conditions.

𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗱 👍
Although rates did move slightly from day-to-day, the moves were small and mortgage rates ended the week basically unchanged. Rates did improve slightly after the Fed meeting, where the Fed left its policy rate unchanged and acknowledged uncertainty ahead, noting it’s keeping a close eye on both inflation and the labor market.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗿 👎
This week has already seen mortgage rates react to news of a temporary trade deal with China, and will see rates react to inflation data and other lesser economic reports. Rates are unlikely to make any big moves higher or lower unless there is a big surprise in the inflation data, but rates may still end the week worse if traders continue to be concerned about inflation despite the new temporarily lowered tariffs on China.

📈 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸:
- Inflation: Both consumer and wholesale inflation data from April comes out early this week, and could cause mortgage rates to move in reaction.
- The Fed: Markets are starting to doubt that the Fed will need to cut rates this year more than previously expected to keep the economy and labor market from growing weaker, which is pressuring rates to start the week.

𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲 👎
Mortgage rates held steady early in the week but slipped on Friday after the BLS jobs report showed the labor market is still strong, making a June Fed rate cut look unlikely. Rates usually fall when the economy shows signs of weakness and rise when the data points to strength, as we saw last week.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗿 👎
This week, mortgage rates will take their cues from the Fed meeting and Fed Chair Jerome Powell's press conference. Given the recent strength in economic and labor data, it is unlikely the Fed will say anything that helps rates improve, but it is still possible.

📈 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸:
- The Fed: Mortgage rates are not directly set by the Fed, but they are heavily influenced by what the Fed does and says. Right now, markets are watching closely for any signs that the Fed may cut its policy rate in the future to support the economy as tariff-related slowdowns continue. Mortgage rates could be volatile around the Fed meeting and Chair Powell’s press conference.
- Trade Tensions: Markets have become less rattled by tariffs and trade war headlines lately, which has helped mortgage rates recover from the highs we saw a few weeks ago.

Alright, there really isn’t a “best” time to buy a house, but spring is heating up, rates are stabilizing, and homes are hitting the market like it’s 2000 all over again. (Pssst, that is an N’Sync joke 😜)

𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲 👎
Mortgage rates spiked early last week but mostly recovered, ending just a bit higher. Even though markets had some big headlines to chew on, like more trade talk drama and a couple shaky economic reports, it wasn’t enough to push rates meaningfully higher or lower.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝘃𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗲 ⚠️
There’s a decent chance mortgage rates creep up this week. Markets will be uneasy heading into a heavy week of jobs data, plus ongoing concerns over inflation aren't going away. Rates aren't wildly swinging (yet), but depending on headlines we could see mortgage rates move either higher or lower.

📈 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸:
- Jobs Report: There are a few different jobs reports this week, but the big monthly BLS jobs data drops Friday. Strong hiring or rising wages could push rates higher, but signs of a cooling job market could help rates dip.
- Trade Tensions: Ongoing trade battles and geopolitical drama are keeping markets edgy and mortgage rates sensitive to every headline.
- Stagflation Worries: Tariffs are starting to drive prices up, raising fears of stagflation (higher inflation and a weaker economy), which would be bad news for mortgage rates.

New 5.0-star Review: "Eric was wonderful to work with. Trustworthy, efficient, and I felt that he truly wanted to find us the best rate. He kept us on schedule but was not at all pushy. I will continue to work with him for future mortgage needs and would recommend him to everyone I know."

𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 👍
Mortgage rates moved lower last week, regaining some of the ground lost during the previous spike. Overall, markets were noticeably calmer and rates started strong early in the week but slipped on Thursday ahead of the long holiday weekend.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗿 👎
Mortgage rates are likely to remain volatile this week as markets react to ongoing tariff and trade war developments. There remains a risk that any new headlines or actions from the White House could cause rates to spike unexpectedly. Despite the volatility though, rates have not approached previous high levels of the year.

📈 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸:
- Firing the Fed: Concerns that President Trump may be seeking to remove Fed Chair Jerome Powell are shaking investor confidence in U.S. assets like stocks and bonds, adding pressure that could push mortgage rates higher.
- Tariffs and trade wars: Any news or new headlines about tariffs or the trade war with China could cause fast moves to rates, and could see rates move higher this week.
- Economic news: Economic reports this week could move mortgage rates, especially if they show signs of weakness or unexpected strength.

𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗿 👎
Mortgage rates jumped last week as markets were thrown into turmoil over recently implemented tariffs, even ignoring better than expected inflation data. Not only did rates move drastically day-to-day, lenders often repriced through the day in response to big moves in mortgage backed securities and Treasuries.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝘃𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗲 ⚠️
Mortgage rates will be tough to predict this week as markets keep reacting to the latest tariff headlines and rumors. After last week’s spike, there’s a chance we see some improvement, but it’s far from guaranteed. In times like these, it’s more important than ever to stay in touch with your mortgage pro.

📈 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸:
- Tariffs: Any talk of pausing tariffs or implementing new tariffs will likely see mortgage rates shift depending on how markets react to the news.
- The Fed: Markets will be looking for any signs from speaking Fed members that the Fed will step in to help the economy and markets.
- Treasury yields: Although the 10yr Treasury is not the basis for mortgage rates, it does affect pricing for mortgage bonds and when the 10yr Treasury yield rises, mortgage rates often follow.
