w/e 7/5/24: Rates Again Steady After Last Update – Important Inflation Data This Week.

 Approximate Rates for Week Ending 7/5/24

Rates once again ended up at similar levels to my last update two weeks ago. In the interim rates had climbed around .125% but they settled again after Friday’s jobs report. The report was weaker than last month indicating that the economy is slowing down and thus increasing the likelihood of a Fed decrease in September.  The Consumer Price Index is due out this week which is also an important potential rate moving and Fed influencing metric.

Experts are split at 26% each on whether rates will go up or down over the next week. 29% think they will stay steady.

If you have any questions or would like advice tailored to your needs, I would be happy to help! And if you have any family or friends that you think might benefit from my services, I would be grateful for the referral.
