From Matthew Graham at Mortgage News Daily: Highest Mortgage Rates in More Than a Month
The average 30yr fixed rate is back in the upper 5% range with some lenders already in the low 6’s. … Rather than view the recent rate spike as the product of one or two individual events, it’s better thought of as a general correction to the overly-aggressive drop in July [30 year fixed 5.72%]
emphasis addedTuesday:
• At 10:00 AM ET, New Home Sales for July from the Census Bureau. The consensus is for 575 thousand SAAR, down from 590 thousand in June.
• Also at 10:00 AM, Richmond Fed Survey of Manufacturing Activity for August.
