Contact / Ask Danhttps://www.therateupdate.com/contactMORTGAGE RATES, JOBS DATA & NEXT WEEK’S INFLATION REPORTSMortgage rates are entering a critical week.This week gave us fresh jobs data. Next week brings key inflation reports. And between those two, the bond market may decide whether mortgage rates get some relief — or stay stuck in this affordability squeeze.Why does this matter?Because mortgage rates are not only about the Fed. They are also about inflation, the 10-Year Treasury, mortgage-backed securities, and what investors believe is coming next.In today’s live event, we break down:✅ What happened with mortgage rates this week✅ Why jobs data matters to the bond market✅ What the Fed is watching right now✅ Why next week’s inflation reports could move rates✅ How CPI and PPI affect mortgage rates✅ What this means for homebuyers and homeowners✅ Why affordability is still the biggest challenge✅ What to watch before locking, buying, or refinancingMost people do not care about CPI, PPI, payrolls, or Treasury yields.But they do care when the same house costs hundreds more per month because rates moved.The rate gets the headline.The payment tells the truth.No hype. Just real data — and what it means for your payment.TOP RESOURCES📉 Track Mortgage Rates Automaticallyhttps://rw2.therateupdate.com/🏠 TRU Mortgage Command Centerhttps://command.therateupdate.com/💳 TRU Debt Optimizerhttps://debtrelief.therateupdate.com/🧮 Mortgage Calculators & Toolshttps://stan.store/TRU-Foundations📊 Credit Monitoring — SmartCredithttps://www.smartcredit.com/?PID=42980📈 Free Credit Scores — Credit Karmahttps://www.creditkarma.com/lp/free-credit-scores-v12aff?adcopy=0&adcampaign=core_acq_awinCHAPTERS00:00 Mortgage Rates Just Hit a Critical Week00:45 Why Jobs Data Matters02:05 The Bond Market Reaction03:20 Why the 10-Year Treasury Matters04:35 Inflation Reports Coming Next Week05:55 CPI, PPI and Mortgage Rates07:20 What the Fed Is Watching08:50 What This Means for Homebuyers10:15 What Homeowners Should Watch11:40 Affordability Reality Check12:45 Final Thoughts and Next StepsWORK WITH ME📅 Schedule a Consultationhttps://calendly.com/d/cq29-7xd-x3v/the-frio-team?month=2025-05📝 Apply for a Mortgage30+ Lenders • 1 Credit Pullhttps://257781.my1003app.com/246527/register📨 Contact / Ask Danhttps://www.therateupdate.com/contactFOLLOW THE RATE UPDATEYouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@TheRateUpdatewithDanFrioInstagram → https://instagram.com/therateupdateTikTok → https://tiktok.com/@therateupdate— DISCLAIMER —Dan Frio is a licensed mortgage loan officer in all 50 states and Puerto Rico, NMLS #246527, with TRU Mortgage Team / PBT Bancorp, NMLS #257781, an Equal Housing Lender.This content is for educational and informational purposes only and is not an offer to lend, commitment to lend, or financial, legal, tax, or investment advice.Mortgage approvals, rates, terms, payments, and program availability are subject to borrower qualifications, underwriting approval, market conditions, and current lending guidelines.All opinions are solely those of Dan Frio and do not necessarily reflect the views of PBT Bancorp or its affiliates.Examples, payment scenarios, savings illustrations, calculators, and comparisons are for demonstration purposes only and should be independently verified.
