Happy September! This year is flying by!
This week, U.S. mortgage rates fell to their lowest since October 2024 after a weaker-than-expected jobs report. The slow job growth and slightly higher unemployment have raised expectations that the Fed may cut rates, helping mortgage rates stay lower. Even so, high home prices and tight inventory keep many buyers cautious.
Next week is pretty quiet on the economic front, but a few key reports could shake up mortgage and financial markets. Two big inflation numbers on Wednesday and Thursday might give clues about what the Fed will do at next week’s FOMC meeting, and midweek Treasury auctions could also affect rates. Monday and Tuesday are slow, with no Fed speeches thanks to their pre-meeting quiet period. If the data comes in stronger than expected, it could lower the chances of a rate cut next month and nudge mortgage rates higher.
