LoanGlass benchmarks moved lower in the latest day and week: the 30-year fixed rate was 7.294%, down 0.096 percentage points from yesterday and 0.133 points over the week, while the 15-year fixed rate stood at 6.791%, down 0.131 points for the week; the 3/1 ARM was an exception, rising 0.260 points to 7.745%. The 10-year Treasury yield also slipped to 5.076%, down 0.164 points over the week, but mortgage benchmarks remain much higher than three months ago, when the LoanGlass 30-year fixed rate was 6.530%. Recent rate declines followed a bond rally, but rates edged up 0.04 percentage points after dropping 0.27 points over the prior five days, with rising oil prices and a pause in bond-market gains cited as possible reasons the fall stalled.

LoanGlass’s 30-year fixed benchmark slipped to 7.294%, down from a week ago, while its 15-year fixed rate fell to 6.791%; recent daily drops suggest some near-term relief, though rates remain higher than a month ago. The 10-year Treasury yield also eased to 5.076% from a week earlier, but the bond rally may lose steam as trading turns sideways, as market commentary notes. Over the next 4 to 8 weeks, mortgage rates may edge down or hold near current levels if yields stay soft, but continued inflation and expectations for elevated rates could limit declines, with one forecast placing the average 30-year mortgage rate at 7.50% in 2026.

LoanGlass put its 30-year fixed mortgage benchmark at 7.294%, down over the past week but up from 6.530% three months ago, while the 10-year Treasury yield stood at 5.076% after rising from 4.550% over that same period. Rates are more likely to drift higher than fall over the next 3 to 6 months: the outlook cited by Fannie Mae expects a 7.500% average 30-year rate in 2026, and rising Treasury yields and persistent inflation risks could keep borrowing costs elevated. A recent weekly rate update reported a 7.400% average 30-year rate and slight upward pressure from Treasury yields, though short-term drops remain possible if bond yields retreat.
