PPI and CPI are next week’s prints, not a Sunday lock
Last updated:
Sunday’s lending note looks past the holiday to the next inflation week. The August 30 rate note already said that after Friday’s jobs calendar, the next big inflation prints are PPI and CPI the following week. Those releases are not out today. They are not a lock. The last official daily 30-year cited here is still 6.81% as of August 28. A Sunday pre-qual letter that pretends otherwise is a hope tape.
What is already on the calendar, and what is not a coupon?
PPI and CPI print on BLS calendars after Labor Day. This desk will not invent either figure, and it will not invent Friday’s still-uncited August Employment Situation. The last official monthly payrolls number named here is July, down 23,000. Weekly claims last cited here are 203,000. None of those series is a mortgage index.
Saturday’s note already said Labor Day Monday does not print a daily coupon. Today’s point is the week after: inflation prints can move the 10-year and the next survey. They do not rewrite 6.81% this afternoon. Freddie Mac’s weekly 30-year remains 6.66% as of August 27.
What should a Sunday letter actually say?
If a lender writes a weekend pre-qual, it should name the last cited official daily coupon — 6.81% as of August 28 — and say the letter is not a lock. Tuesday after the holiday is the next weekday index this site expects. Next week’s PPI and CPI, when they publish, get their own dated notes.

FAQ
Did PPI or CPI print on Sunday, September 6?
No. The August 30 rate note placed those inflation prints in the week after Labor Day. This morning note invents neither number.
What 30-year should a Sunday pre-qual cite?
The last official daily 30-year cited here is 6.81% as of August 28, 2026, until a newer dated index is sourced. That is not a lock.
