updates: Mortgage rates have increased to around 6.71% this week, according to Zillow data. The U.S. economy added 206,000 jobs in June, slightly above expectations. The unemployment rate ticked up to 4.1%. The increase in unemployment could help interest rates drift toward the lower end of the range until next week's inflation reports. Mortgage rates are expected to trend down in the coming months and years as inflation comes down and the Federal Reserve is able to start cutting the federal funds rate. The Fed's rate hikes have impacted mortgage rates, but now that the Fed has paused hiking rates, mortgage rates have come down a bit. Once the Fed starts cutting rates, mortgage rates should fall even further.
