A Thursday Freddie weekly is not a sourced reprint

Last updated:

Thursday’s lending note is about the weekly survey’s usual day, not about inventing a new average. Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey typically publishes on Thursdays. This site’s last cited weekly 30-year is still 6.66% as of August 27. That is not this morning’s reprint. The last official daily 30-year cited here is still 6.81% as of August 28. A Thursday calendar is not a number we have sourced.

What can a Thursday PMMS change, and what can it not replace?

When Freddie publishes a newer weekly, that print is a weekly average of a different sample than Mortgage News Daily’s weekday index. September 1 already split those two surveys. Today’s point is the calendar: Thursday is when the weekly usually lands. This morning note does not invent that figure. Keep 6.66% as of August 27 until a newer dated PMMS is sourced here.

Keep 6.81% as of August 28 as the last cited official daily coupon. The 15-year context from that same Friday print is 6.35%. Wednesday already said this week’s PPI and CPI calendars are not a lock. This desk has sourced neither inflation print. 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. Invent none of those as this afternoon’s APR.

What should a Thursday letter cite before FOMC week?

Name the series. Cite 6.81% as of August 28 for the last daily index and 6.66% as of August 27 for the last weekly. Say neither is a lock. If a newer official daily or weekly print publishes later, it gets its own dated note. The September 15–16 FOMC meeting is still the policy date this site has named.

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.
