Mortgage Rates Rise in U.S.

According to Freddie Mac’s latest Primary Mortgage Market Survey, the average U.S. fixed mortgage rates increasing to their highest level since late June 2016.

Sean Becketti, chief economist of Freddie Mac says, “A jump last week in the PCE — the price index tracked most closely by the Fed — raised the prospect that inflation might not be completely dead after all. Investors reacted by driving the yield on the 10-year Treasury to its highest point since June. The 30-year mortgage rate jumped 7 basis points to 3.54 percent, the largest 1-week increase in over six months.”
