Hello, I hope you’re having a great Friday!
This past week’s economic news was mostly focused on the Federal Reserve. The Fed cut its rate by a quarter point, but the market had already expected that move, so it didn’t make much of a splash. The bigger surprise was the Fed hinting that they may be done cutting rates for a while, which the market didn’t love. In the end, mortgage rates stayed flat, with only minor movements.
Next week is going to be pretty busy with important economic updates that could affect interest rates. We’ve got the long-delayed jobs report and the Consumer Price Index (CPI), both of which can really move the markets. There’s also a Treasury auction in the middle of the week. Monday is quiet for data, but we’ll still be paying attention to two Fed speeches.
Rates wrapped up the week mixed, showing just slight movement.
