Every rate that touches an American household — mortgages, savings, Treasuries, inflation and fuel — pulled straight from government and Federal Reserve data, updated each morning.
Mortgage rates climbed to 7.03% on 30-year fixed loans this week, up from 6.95% a week ago. On a typical $400,000 home purchase, that increase means paying roughly $30 more per month than last week—about $360 extra per year, or roughly $10,800 more over the life of a 30-year loan. If you're shopping for a home now, this matters.
Inflation continues at 3.35% year-over-year, with core inflation (which excludes volatile food and energy) at 2.45%. This matters for savers: your cash loses purchasing power when savings account rates fall below inflation. The federal funds rate sits at 3.88%, the rate the Fed uses to guide other interest rates throughout the economy.
Unemployment stands at 4.1%. Gas prices remain near $4.47 per gallon. The stock market, measured by the S&P 500 at 7,683 and the Nasdaq at 26,820, continues without major shifts today.
