💡 Why This Matters
Mortgage rates ticked higher after the Fed’s September 17th cut (as expected) and have since settled into a holding pattern. Right now, markets are waiting on this week’s jobs data and any developments around a potential government shutdown. Both could shift momentum:
📊 Jobs Report Friday – A weaker labor market could spark a rally in bonds and push mortgage rates lower. A stronger report does the opposite.
🏛️ Government Shutdown Risk – If data releases are delayed, uncertainty can create volatility in mortgage pricing.
🔄 Fed’s Next Moves – Fed officials remain divided on how quickly to ease policy. Their tone in upcoming speeches will keep influencing expectations.
👉 Realtor Insight: Buyers should not expect big rate drops in the near term. We are in a sideways market where data surprises, like this Friday’s jobs report, will be the catalyst for the next move.
