Every rate that touches an American household — mortgages, savings, Treasuries, inflation and fuel — pulled straight from government and Federal Reserve data, updated each morning.
Thirty-year mortgage rates ticked up to 6.66% this week from 6.65%, adding roughly $2 per month to payments on a $400,000 home loan. Over 30 years, that extra $2 a month adds up. For renters or future buyers, these numbers matter; for existing homeowners with fixed mortgages, it's just the backdrop.
The larger concern for your wallet is inflation running at 3.3% year-over-year. Most savings accounts offer rates far below that, which means your cash savings are quietly losing purchasing power. It's a real cost, even if it doesn't appear on a bank statement.
The job market remains steady at 4.1% unemployment, with gas prices holding near $4.07 per gallon. The Fed's benchmark rate sits at 3.63%, and the 10-year Treasury yield stands at 4.79%. These rates ripple through the economy, affecting everything from credit card costs to what banks offer on savings.
