Mortgage rates today are about 7.25% after hot inflation numbers hit the bond market, and the Federal Reserve now has a 70% chance of a rate hike priced in. I break down what it means for your payment and what to watch next.
If you're a homebuyer, a homeowner tracking your rate, or a realtor explaining this to clients, here's what I cover today:
📈 Mortgage rates jumped to about 7.25%, up from 5.99% about six months ago
🏭 Services inflation came in at 58.7 versus about 56 expected, and manufacturing also came in hot
🛢️ Why oil keeps driving inflation, and why diesel at $6 a gallon is a problem
📉 The 10-Year Treasury at 5% and why it keeps 30-year mortgage rates high
🏦 The Fed's next meeting is in 34 days, and the odds of a hike jumped from the 50s to 70%
📅 The PCE report is next week. If it's hot, rates could hit 7.5%. If it's cooler, rates could fall back to 7% or even the sixes
🔒 Why I'm telling clients with a contract to lock now. A jump of about an eighth of a point can add $100 to $150 to a monthly payment
