In recent weeks, there’s been less volatility in mortgage rates as compared to the previous one and a half months up until December 14th. Generally, the rates have been trending upwards. Mortgage lenders usually release rates on regular business days excluding holidays. Consequently, the new week’s rates were released today. Even though global markets operated on Monday, the day’s trading initiated a challenging environment for U.S. mortgage rates. An important event on Tuesday involving a Q&A with Christopher Waller from the Federal Reserve added further to the rising rates. This has led lenders to increase their average rates to nearly the highest they’ve been in the last few weeks, albeit not as high as mid-last week. Rates had nearly reached 8% during the November-December surge, then dipped to the 6.6% range by December 14th. As of now, they remain well below 7%, preserving most of the improvement despite slight losses.

On Wednesday, mortgage rates showed improvement, edging back towards recent lower levels due to less-than-stellar economic data. This is key, particularly because rate movements and the Federal Reserve’s rate policies are continuously deemed “data dependent.” There’s no reason for doubting the Fed or the market system, and the day’s trading activity echoed the same sentiment. However, the day’s economic figures had a different vibe, especially as Jobless Claims were significantly lower than anticipated. Further, European economic data already influenced bond yields to surge in the overnight session, which aligns with interest rates. As mortgage lenders issued rates for the day, the average lender’s rate was higher compared to the previous day’s final figures, though not surpassing Tuesday’s levels. All of these fluctuations may end up being inconsequential, resting on the results of Friday’s much-anticipated jobs report, which has substantial potential to incite volatility in interest rates, in any direction.
