The outlook for mortgage rates unexpectedly shifted last week, as Fed members made it clear that they expected to pause rate hiking in June but were leaving the door open for more hikes in the future if needed. A couple of weeks ago markets had been pricing in Fed rate cuts to begin as early as July, but markets now expecting the Fed to hold rates longer. This shift in outlook has pressured mortgage rates to slowly move higher.

With little in the way of economic data and a holiday weekend, it isn't likely we see a change in the current outlook and we could see rates creep slightly higher this week. Rates unlikely to move lower again until the Fed outlook changes.

What is the difference? ๐Ÿค”

๐Ÿ‘‰ Getting prequalified is the process of providing a mortgage lender with some background information like your credit, income, and expenses so the lender can help you determine how much you can afford and what you are likely to qualify for.

๐Ÿ‘‰ A preapproval, however, means you've provided the lender with proof of your income and assets and had a credit check to determine exactly how much you can be approved for. In some cases, a preapproval can show you are approved for a loan before making an offer, which makes your offer stronger and could help you win a bidding war.

This week mortgage rates are likely to move slightly day-to-day, but the overall moves for the week are likely to be small. Mortgage rates are in a tight window right now, and will likely stay that way through the end of the month unless something unforeseen or unexpected happens such as the U.S. defaulting on its debt. Although rates are expected to slowly move lower over time, it doesn't look likely we will see any big moves lower this week.

This week mortgage rates will react to inflation data, which is currently expected to show inflation continuing to cool, which would then support a Fed rate hike pause in June. Although rates are not likely to come down significantly, we could see at least slightly better rates to end the week if the data goes our way.

- Inflation data: Wednesday brings the CPI consumer inflation report, a key report that could help rates improve if it shows a significant drop in inflation. Thursday brings wholesale inflation, not as important to mortgage rates but still having some effect.
- The Fed: Speculation of future Fed policy rate actions will continue to impact mortgage rates over the next few months. Rates will improve on any news that shows disinflation or a slowing economy, because the Fed will have to start cutting rates later this year or early 2024 if we find ourselves in a recession.

Mortgage rates are likely to start the week of unchanged before becoming volatile on Wednesday with this month's Fed meeting and subsequent policy statement, followed by Fed Chair Jerome Powell's press conference.

- The Fed: The Fed is expected to raise its policy rate by .25% this meeting, marking the 10th straight increase, which won't affect mortgage rates as markets have already priced in the move.

- Economic data: The jobs data coming out on Friday is likely to affect mortgage rates, with signs that the labor market remains strong pressuring rates higher while any signs of weakness will help mortgage rates improve.

Recap of last week: Rates slightly higher ๐Ÿ‘Ž
Rates crept higher last week as expectations shifted that the Fed will not need to cut rates as quickly as was previously expected.

Mortgage Rate Forecast: Rates should hold steady ๐Ÿ‘
Rates are unlikely to make any big moves this week, although we could see some day-to-day movement from reactions to economic data. It is unlikely we see rates move significantly higher or lower though, meaning we are unlikely to see moves of more than .25%. There will be no Fed speakers this week, they are gagged ahead of next week's Fed meeting. Next week is much more likely to see rates move with the Fed meeting and jobs data, when rates could go either way depending on how things play out.

๐Ÿ—“๏ธ What's affecting rates this week:
- Economic data: Although there is no data on Monday, the rest of the week has data that could influence rates, including consumer confidence data, durable goods data, first quarter GDP readings, and PCE inflation data on Friday which is the Fed's preferred gauge of inflation.
- Fed outlook: Markets are pricing in a rate hike to fight inflation at next week's Fed meeting, and are expecting the Fed to pause further hikes but to hold its policy rate at 5% before possibly starting to cut rates in September.

๐Ÿก For the week of April 17, 2023

Recap of last week: Rates slightly higher ๐Ÿ‘Ž
Rates were up a little bit from recent lows, but not by much. Rates moved higher early in the week, then were a little better on Wednesday after the inflation data showed inflation has fallen to the lowest level since May 2021 before moving up a bit as the week ended. Although slightly worse than the week before, rates are still well below March highs.

Mortgage Rate Forecast: Rates could creep higher ๐Ÿ‘Ž
Right now the door is open for rates to creep a bit higher this week, as expectations shift that the Fed will not need to cut rates as quickly as was previously expected. If markets don't think the Fed will need to cut rates to fight off a coming recession, we are unlikely to see any big improvements in rates this week.

๐Ÿ—“๏ธ What's affecting rates this week:
- Fed outlook: Mortgage rates are pricing in an expectation that the Fed will raise its policy rate .25% at the May 3rd meeting, and then pause hiking rates. Changes in the expectations of future Fed rate cuts could influence mortgage rates this week.
- Fed speakers: A lot of speeches this week, some may catch the attention of markets and influence the expectations of which direction the Fed will go next.
- Economic data: No big data to worry about this week.

In the middle of last week average mortgage rates hit some of the lowest levels seen since January, before rising on Friday as strong jobs data pushed markets to expect the Fed to hike its policy rate again in May. Rates still ended the week slightly lower.

Mortgage rates will find direction this week depending on how markets react to inflation data, as well as speculation of a possible Fed rate hike in May. Markets are expecting a rate hike to come, but if that changes we could see rates improve. We could see rates move more than normal this week, with Wednesday likely to be the most volatile day for rates.

- Economic data: This week we will get the CPI consumer inflation data for March, which if it shows inflation is slowing down could help mortgage rates. A report showing that inflation remains stubborn though could see rates move slightly higher. Wholesale inflation data comes out on Thursday, with a smaller chance of affecting rates.
- Fed minutes: The minutes from last month's Fed meeting will be released on Wednesday, and markets will be looking for signs on whether the Fed will hike its rate in May or not.

Last week saw mortgage rates move up from the previous week's lows, but were still better than the first half of March. Rates were pretty consistent through the week, with little movement day-to-day and no real volatile days.

Now that the banking turmoil has died down, and markets have been assured that this isn't a systemic failure reminiscent of 2008, expectations of a Fed rate hike in May have increased. That is pressuring mortgage rates for the week. We could see rates do well early in the week, but should be careful near the week's end as the jobs data could push mortgage rates higher.

- Economic data: Jobs data comes on Friday this week, which is Good Friday. Normally the bond market is closed on Good Friday, but it will be open with an early close of 2pm because of the jobs data, while the stock market will be closed for the day. Due to the holiday weekend, we may see more volatility than usual, and rates could move higher quickly if the jobs data shows a strong labor market.
- The Fed: As markets anticipate future Fed rate movements, mortgage rates will be affected. Fed members speaking this week could swing sentiment.
