There is no new official mortgage-rate print on Sunday. Lenders are still pricing off Friday. Mortgage News Daily's daily index last published Friday around 4 p.m. ET at 6.81% for a top-tier 30-year fixed, up 0.06 from Thursday. That is the highest daily print in just over three weeks. Saturday's recap covered Warsh's hawkish Jackson Hole speech. The next official daily number is Monday afternoon.
What is the latest official mortgage rate?
As of Friday, August 28:
- 30-year fixed: 6.81% (+0.06)
- 15-year fixed: 6.35% (+0.03)
- 30-year jumbo: 6.90% (+0.02)
- 7/6 ARM: 6.33% (+0.03)
- 30-year FHA: 6.37% (+0.03)
- 30-year VA: 6.37% (+0.02)
The week finished +0.04 (last Friday was 6.77%). Tuesday's oil dip to 6.74% did not hold. The 15-year sits at the top of its 52-week range. The 30-year is still just below its 52-week high of 6.85%.
Freddie Mac's weekly 30-year (August 27) is 6.66%. The MBA weekly (August 26) is 6.78%. Bankrate's Sunday morning survey shows a 30-year around 6.73%. Those are different samples. The series this site tracks day to day is Mortgage News Daily.
The 10-year Treasury CMT closed Friday at 4.73%. The 2-year closed at 4.34%. Bond markets are closed until Monday.
Individual lender quotes differ from a national index. A locked rate is not a closed loan.
What matters this week if rates cannot move today?
Monday is light on U.S. data. The week gets heavy after that. Friday's August jobs report is the last monthly payrolls print the Fed will have before the September 15–16 FOMC meeting.
Tuesday, September 1
- ISM manufacturing PMI (August), survey 55.3 versus 55.6 in July
- JOLTS job openings (July)
- Construction spending (July)
Wednesday, September 2
- ADP private payrolls (August)
- Factory orders (July)
- Fed Beige Book
Thursday, September 3
- Initial jobless claims
- ISM services PMI (August)
- Q2 productivity revision and July international trade
Friday, September 4 (the rate day)
- August employment situation: payrolls, unemployment rate, and hourly earnings
July payrolls fell 23,000. A rebound would fit Warsh's "work to do" message and keep the 10-year firm. A second weak print is the first real chance this week for a dip.
Fixed mortgage rates follow the 10-year more than the fed funds rate. Markets will parse whether the labor market is still tight enough to back a hike, not just whether September stays on hold. Labor Day is Monday, September 7. After Friday, the next big inflation prints are PPI and CPI the following week.
What does this mean if you are buying or refinancing?
Weekend locks still price off Friday. If a payment already works at 6.81%, locking removes the risk that a firm jobs print keeps yields elevated after Warsh. Waiting is a bet that this week's labor data fades Friday's hawkish read.
Run a payment estimate, then look at purchase or refinance options. See when refinancing beats waiting.
FAQ
Did mortgage rates change on Sunday?
No. There is no weekend official index. Friday's 6.81% is still the last print.
When is the next official daily rate?
Monday, around 4 p.m. ET.
What is the single most important report this week?
Friday's August jobs report. It is the last monthly payrolls print before the September 15–16 FOMC meeting. ISM surveys earlier in the week matter more for growth than for the next day's rate sheet.
Should I lock before Monday?
Weekend locks still price off Friday. If a payment already works at 6.81%, locking removes the risk that a firm jobs print keeps the 10-year elevated after Warsh. Waiting is a bet that this week's labor data fades Friday's hawkish read.
