Mortgage rates made it to their lowest levels in a month this week, once again getting a helping hand from trouble in the tech sector. The overall improvement was smaller than last week's, but Thursday offered another impressive example of how quickly concerns about AI-related growth can translate to lower borrowing costs for homebuyers. Read on below.

Trunk-or-Treat this morning at DaVinci Elementary.

"Each year, the Great Pumpkin rises out of the pumpkin patch that he thinks is the most sincere. He's gotta pick this one. He's got to. I don't see how a pumpkin patch can be more sincere than this one. You can look around and there's not a sign of hypocrisy. Nothing but sincerity as far as the eye can see."

Unrounded core CPI came in at 0.335, which nearly rounds to 0.4% versus an expectations of 0.2%. This is a big surprise when it comes to inflation data, and it matters more at the moment given the rapidly evolving Fed rate hike outlook. Recent Fed speeches caused a significant pull-back in rate hike expectations. Today's inflation data undoes most of that progress. It may not cause rates to break into new highs, but it makes a strong case for this week's lows being the floor until further notice.

Mortgage rates finally had a better week, with Thursday bringing the biggest daily drop in 3 months and Friday adding enough improvement to claim the lowest levels in 2 weeks.

Granted, "2-week lows" won't sound especially exciting to anyone who remembers where rates were at the end of August. Most of the damage remains intact. But after weeks of improvements that barely survived long enough to make the news, this one deserves some attention.

Mortgage rates had their best week in a while, falling to the lowest levels in 2 weeks. Most of the recent increase is still intact, but investors showed more interest in buying bonds, which helps push mortgage rates lower.

Mortgage rates officially at 2 week lows. Even though the underlying bond market is in slightly weaker shape today, mortgage rates ended up trickling just a bit lower than yesterday's latest levels.

It's been a bumpy ride for interest rates recently, and while this week was no exception, the pace subsided slightly. Nonetheless, rates moved higher with Wednesday seeing the highest average 30yr fixed rates since November 1, 2023. On the bright side, that's a lot better than the story in 10yr Treasury yields, which hit their highest level since 2002.

Why Rates Almost hit 7.5% This Week, And Is The Worst Over?

At 9:44am ET on Wednesday, this week's rate story was mostly about waiting for next week's economic data. At 9:45, an unlikely report made the wait a lot more uncomfortable.
