From Matthew Graham at Mortgage News Daily: Mortgage Rates Microscopically Lower to Start New Week
Mortgage rates have been on a vacation from volatility since January 16th when they fell back toward 7% after hitting the highest levels since May 2024. Top tier 30yr fixed rates have operated inside a 0.13% range since then and a narrower 0.08% range for the past 2 weeks. ... on Wednesday, volatility potential increases significantly with the release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which is the first of the two big inflation readings for any given month. Inflation is always a consideration for interest rates, but it's particularly important at the moment as investors wait for evidence that progress toward the 2% has resumed after potentially stalling at just over 3% last summer.
