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 most important news for your wallet this week: mortgage rates jumped to 7.03%, up from 6.95% a week ago. On a $400,000 home loan, that 0.08% increase adds roughly $25 to your monthly payment—nearly $300 a year. If you've been on the fence about refinancing or buying, rates are moving higher.
Inflation remains sticky at 3.35% year-over-year, with core inflation at 2.45%. This matters because savings accounts and money market funds are earning less than actual inflation—meaning your savings are losing purchasing power. The Federal Reserve's rate is 3.88%, but banks aren't passing all of that to savers. You're falling behind if you're holding cash.
Employment stayed steady at 4.1% unemployment, but gas prices remain elevated at $4.48 a gallon, adding pressure to household budgets alongside higher borrowing costs. The broader stock market closed at 7,743 on the S&P 500, down slightly from recent highs.
