The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage just broke 7% for the first time this year

the 15-year fixed-rate mortgage spiked to 6.39%

The sudden spike comes as markets adjust expectations for interest rate cuts this year after inflation appears stuck well above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target.

Not a great sign for a near term inflation dip. Rents and insurance are keeping it high.

Maybe Europe will save the day?

the European Central Bank signaled on Thursday that it’s penciling [a rate cut] in for June.
