Mortgage-Rates-News – for the week of June 26, 2023




𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗱

Mortgage rates were basically unchanged to end the week, with little in the way of economic data or other events to move them.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵

Mortgage rates are not likely to change much this week, although we should still see some small day-to-day movement. The outlook remains that rates are not likely to move significantly lower from here (significantly meaning at least .25%) while markets continue to expect the Fed to start raising its rate again in July. Rates could move higher from here if markets become convinced the Fed will also raise rates in September.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸:

- Economic data: We could see some movement on Tuesday with the release of the consumer confidence report as well as some other economic data. If the data shows a softening economy and weaker consumer confidence, that would help rates slightly, stronger data would hurt them.

 

- Fed rate hikes: Markets are now pricing in a hike at the July Fed meeting. The Fed has projected at least 2 hikes before the end of the year, but markets don't think the economy will allow it. If that changes and markets expect a second hike, rates will creep higher.
