Mortgage rates spiked on Wednesday and remain elevated today. Average 30-year mortgage rates are currently around 21 basis points higher than they were a week ago.
Though mortgage rates are up today, they could drop in the coming weeks depending on how the latest economic data shakes out. If next week's Consumer Price Index report shows that inflation is continuing to slow, mortgage rates could trend back down.
