US mortgage refi window stuck closed as wide spread, not Fed cut, keeps rates high

U.S. mortgage rates fell again, which could boost homebuilder traffic but isn’t helping mortgage-banking volume much. The 30-year fixed rate is down, but refinance incentives are still weak for Rocket Companies, UWM Holdings and other lenders waiting for lower coupons to drive borrower demand.

Trump crypto payout dwarfs some family-linked stocks as $TRUMP losses hit $3.8 billion

President Donald Trump’s $TRUMP memecoin has turned into a cleaner market read on the family’s crypto trade than the political fight around it: Trump reported a payout of roughly $636 million from the coin, while nearly one million wallets that bought it were down a combined $3.81 billion through June, according to Nansen data reported by CoinDesk and The New York Times.

Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN) climbs on delivery numbers in holiday week

Rivian Automotive Inc heads into Monday trading up after the stock gained $1.45 on July 2. With 1.26 billion shares outstanding, that added around $1.8 billion in market cap after the company lifted its 2026 delivery midpoint by 3,000 vehicles. That works out to about $609,000 in added value per vehicle in the updated forecast—a rough figure, but one that puts a number on whether R2 volume targets might turn into profit.

Opendoor stock turnover signals Russell index demand test after 12% gain during holiday week

Volume came in at about 43% of public float. The index move gave the stock a boost, but there was selling around $5 and heavy churn on the tape.
