Please enjoy this quick update on what happened this week in the housing and financial markets.
THE ECONOMY:
Last week's jobless claims came in higher than expected at 261K, up 28K for the week. Claims reached their highest level since October 2021. A resilient labor market saw payrolls rise 339K in May, much better than expected. However, unemployment increased to 3.7% from 3.5%. Cooling demand in the services sector in May pushed prices the businesses paid to a 3-year low. Slower services inflation could be good for rates.

HOUSING NEWS:
Though mortgage rates fell back from recent highs, mortgage applications dropped for the 4th straight week. Purchase apps fell 2%. Black Knight reported slower home sales in April, as a lack of affordability and inventory continued to create major market headwinds. The P&I payment on a 20% down, 30-year mortgage for a median priced home now accounts for 34.2% of the median household income.
