30-Year Mortgage Rate Falls 0.01% to 6-Week Low as Jobs Data Looms

Summary

  • The 30-year fixed mortgage rate edged down another 0.01% on Monday, leaving rates at their lowest level since May 14 after several days of tiny declines.
  • Most of the recent drop came last Wednesday, while Monday's move followed an otherwise quiet session with no economic releases and few market-moving headlines.
  • That calm is set to end over the next three mornings, with major economic data due each day and Thursday's monthly jobs report posing the biggest risk for rate volatility.
  • Friday's Independence Day market closure will cut the week short, and lenders typically do not issue new rate sheets or accept new locks when the bond market is shut.
