MORTGAGE RATES, JOBS DATA & NEXT WEEK’S INFLATION REPORTS

Mortgage rates are entering a critical week.

This week gave us fresh jobs data. Next week brings key inflation reports. And between those two, the bond market may decide whether mortgage rates get some relief — or stay stuck in this affordability squeeze.

Why does this matter?

Because mortgage rates are not only about the Fed. They are also about inflation, the 10-Year Treasury, mortgage-backed securities, and what investors believe is coming next.

In today’s live event, we break down:

✅ What happened with mortgage rates this week
✅ Why jobs data matters to the bond market
✅ What the Fed is watching right now
✅ Why next week’s inflation reports could move rates
✅ How CPI and PPI affect mortgage rates
✅ What this means for homebuyers and homeowners
✅ Why affordability is still the biggest challenge
✅ What to watch before locking, buying, or refinancing

Most people do not care about CPI, PPI, payrolls, or Treasury yields.

But they do care when the same house costs hundreds more per month because rates moved.

The rate gets the headline.
The payment tells the truth.

No hype. Just real data — and what it means for your payment.
