A print day is not a sourced coupon
Last updated:
Tuesday’s lending note is about the difference between a calendar and a citation. Mortgage News Daily’s daily index is a weekday survey. Labor Day was Monday, so today is the first day that survey can print after the holiday. That is a schedule fact. It is not a new 30-year this site has cited. The last official daily coupon named here is still 6.81% as of August 28.
What reopened this morning, and what did not publish here?
Lender desks are back. Secondary traders are talking. None of that is a dated Mortgage News Daily print on this site. Saturday’s note already said Labor Day would not print a coupon and that Tuesday was the next weekday index. Monday’s note already said the holiday does not move the September 15–16 FOMC. Today’s split is narrower: a print day is not a number we have sourced.
Until a Tuesday index is cited here with an as-of date, keep 6.81% as of August 28. The 15-year context from that same Friday print is 6.35%. Freddie Mac’s weekly 30-year remains 6.66% as of August 27. Weekly claims last cited here are 203,000. The last official monthly payrolls figure named here is July, down 23,000. August’s Employment Situation has not been sourced. PPI and CPI still sit on next week’s BLS calendars. Invent none of those as this afternoon’s lock.
What should a first-weekday letter actually cite?
Name 6.81% as of August 28 and say it is not a lock. If a newer official daily index publishes later today, it gets its own dated note. Do not treat a morning chat-room open, a lender teaser, or a hoped-for fade as that print.
Use the payment calculator only as a shape. Add tax and insurance. The result is not an approval. This publication does not originate loans or take applications. A lock belongs with a licensed originator after a named coupon.
FAQ
Did this site cite a new official daily 30-year on September 8?
No. Tuesday is a weekday survey day after Labor Day. The last official daily 30-year cited here is still 6.81% as of August 28, 2026, until a newer dated index is sourced.
Does a reopened lender desk replace Friday’s 6.81%?
No. A desk that is open is not Mortgage News Daily’s dated index. Keep the last cited coupon until this publication names a newer one.
