Mortgage rates continued to rise last week, although they did improve a bit after hitting their worst levels following the Fed meeting. The Fed raised its policy rate as expected, which mortgage rates had already priced in, but forecasts for more rate hikes this year helped push mortgage rates higher.

Mortgage rates are tough to forecast this week and could be volatile. Rates will be influenced by oil prices, Middle East headlines, and news from the UN General Assembly. Expect some day-to-day movement, but rates are unlikely to move much higher or lower by the end of the week.

โข Oil prices: Oil is starting the week lower, helped by news that the Saudi pipeline could reopen soon and that vessels are once again moving through the Strait of Hormuz, although at a much slower pace than normal. If oil moves higher, mortgage rates will likely worsen, but if oil continues to fall, it could help mortgage rates improve.
โข Headlines: News from the Middle East or the UN General Assembly about a possible deal with Iran could help mortgage rates improve this week, while further escalation could push rates higher.
