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 wasnโt enough to push rates meaningfully higher or lower.

Thereโs 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.
๐ ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐'๐ ๐ฎ๐ณ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ธ:
- 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.
