Every rate that touches an American household — mortgages, savings, Treasuries, inflation and fuel — pulled straight from government and Federal Reserve data, updated each morning.
Inflation remains the biggest story for your wallet. Prices are rising at 3.35% per year, and that pace erodes savings. Your bank's savings account probably earns 3–4% interest; after inflation, you're barely keeping pace. This matters more than any single rate announcement because it affects your everyday purchasing power.
For those borrowing, mortgage rates climbed to 6.76% this week, up from 6.71%. On a $400,000 loan, this 0.05% increase costs about $20 more per month, or $240 per year. The 30-year fixed rate is high, and car loans and credit cards follow the same trend upward.
The good news: unemployment is steady at 4.1%, and job growth remains solid. The Fed's benchmark rate is 3.63%, and the 10-year Treasury yield is at 4.95%. These levels keep borrowing costs elevated but reflect current economic conditions.
