Credited from: NYTIMES

  • The average **30-year mortgage rate** has increased to **6.93%**, as reported by Freddie Mac, reaching its highest level since early July.
  • This rise in mortgage rates is attributed to the **10-year Treasury yield**, which has been influenced by strong economic data and persistent inflation.
  • Professor Stijn Van Nieuwerburgh notes that the economy remains resilient, with inflation decreasing less than expected.
  • The **10-year Treasury yield** rose above **4.7%**, its highest point since April, amid expansion in the U.S. services sector and proposed tariffs by the incoming administration.
  • The **Federal Reserve** has cut interest rates three times last year but suggests fewer reductions are expected this year due to ongoing inflation challenges.
