From Matthew Graham at Mortgage News Daily: Mortgage Rates Perfectly Flat to Start The Week
Mortgage rates fell to the lowest levels in a month last Tuesday and barely budged through the rest of the week. Now, at the start of the new week, the average lender is perfectly unchanged from last Friday. This means there are only a small handful of days with meaningfully lower rates going all the way back to late 2022.
As the government shutdown continues, the bond market (which dictates rates) continues missing out on the bulk of relevant economic reports that normally help guide momentum throughout the month. [30 year fixed 6.19%]
emphasis added
Tuesday (RED will not be released due to government shutdown):

• Also at 9:00 AM, FHFA House Price Index for August. This was originally a GSE only repeat sales, however there is also an expanded index.
• At 10:00 AM, The Q3 Housing Vacancies and Homeownership report from the Census Bureau.
