Every rate that touches an American household — mortgages, savings, Treasuries, inflation and fuel — pulled straight from government and Federal Reserve data, updated each morning.
The 30-year fixed mortgage rate climbed to 7.03% this week, up from 6.95%. If you're buying a $400,000 home, that increase means paying roughly $25 more per month—or about $300 extra per year over the life of the loan. Anyone planning to buy or refinance a home should take note of this upward move.
Inflation remains at 3.35% year-over-year, with core inflation at 2.45%. This matters for your savings: money sitting in a bank account needs to earn more than 3.35% annually just to keep up with rising prices. Gas prices remain stubbornly high at $4.48 per gallon, adding to household expenses.
On the broader economic front, the picture is steady: unemployment at 4.1%, the S&P 500 at 7706, and the Fed funds rate at 3.88%. Market volatility remains low, signaling relative calm.
