Mortgage rates stuck near 6% — a jobs report could break the stalemate

Mortgage rates stuck near 6% — a jobs report could break the stalemate

Mortgage rates in the U.S. slipped to a three-week low on Tuesday, as disappointing Retail Sales data sent bond prices higher and dragged yields lower. The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate dropped to 6.11%, a decline of 0.05 percentage point, according to Mortgage News Daily’s daily index. https://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/markets/mortgage-rates-02102026 This shift is significant for buyers as the spring selling season picks up, since even slight tweaks in borrowing costs can make or break a deal. Rates have mostly hovered around 6%, and markets have been anything but patient—quickly latching onto fresh data that could sway sentiment on growth or inflation.

Bitcoin traders cool on Fed rate cuts ahead of March meeting as Warsh uncertainty bites

Bitcoin traders cool on Fed rate cuts ahead of March meeting as Warsh uncertainty bites

Crypto traders are dialing down their wagers on Fed rate cuts this year, with bets shifting after President Donald Trump put forward ex-Fed governor Kevin Warsh for the top job. According to CoinGape, data from betting markets now points to traders anticipating two cuts, not three. https://coingape.com/crypto-traders-reduce-fed-rate-cut-bets-as-expert-calls-warsh-dovish/ The stakes in this repricing are high: the Fed’s next move won’t come for weeks, and rate bets shape liquidity—how loose or tight cash feels in the market. That, in turn, weighs directly on risk assets, crypto included. Traders are bracing for choppy, news-fueled jolts heading into March. https://www.cointribune.com/en/cryptos-brace-for-volatility-as-fed-decisions-loom/

Mortgage rates today: 30-year holds near 6% as borrowers chase scarce sub-6 deals

Mortgage rates today: 30-year holds near 6% as borrowers chase scarce sub-6 deals

Mortgage rates in the U.S. barely budged Monday, with Zillow putting the average 30-year fixed at 5.99% as of Feb. 9—a mark it’s hovered near for most of the past month. The 15-year fixed clocked in at 5.37%. Refi rates for 30-year loans? Higher, averaging 6.80%, according to Zillow data reported by CBS News. Not much movement on the tape, and that’s notable—February doesn’t bring many clear triggers for rate shifts, policy-wise. No rate decision from the Fed this month; the next FOMC gathering isn’t until March.

Mortgage Refinance Rates Hold Above 6% — and Homebuyers Still Won’t Call That “Good”

Mortgage Refinance Rates Hold Above 6% — and Homebuyers Still Won’t Call That “Good”

Refinancing still isn’t cheap for U.S. homeowners. The average 30-year fixed refi rate clocks in at 6.24%, according to Zillow figures cited by Fortune. Jumbo 30-year refinance rates? Those hit 7.04%. As for government-backed loans, 30-year FHA and VA refi rates are at 5.89% and 5.80%, respectively. Fortune notes closing costs typically land in the 2% to 6% range. The math only works out for most borrowers when the new rate undercuts the old one by about a full point. The “6% handle” has become a dividing line for the market. It’s more than just a psychological marker; shifts above or below that number can push monthly payments up or down, tipping the scales for people trying to decide if now’s the time to make a move—or stay put.

Mortgage rates cling to 6% as jobs data softens; Pizza Hut lines up 250 closures

Mortgage rates cling to 6% as jobs data softens; Pizza Hut lines up 250 closures

U.S. mortgage rates stayed pinned near 6% this week, with the benchmark 30-year fixed rate barely moving in Freddie Mac’s weekly survey. A daily gauge dipped on Thursday after a run of downbeat employment data sparked a bond rally. The timing matters for buyers and sellers heading into the spring home-sales season, when activity usually picks up. Rates are hovering around their lowest levels in more than three years, and small changes can still shift affordability.
