From Matthew Graham at Mortgage News Daily: Mortgage Rates Highest in More Than a Month

Mortgage rates are higher again today, with the average lender now back to levels not seen since May 16th, 2017.  Unless you've been following every little day-to-day change in rates, the apparent drama over the past few days is laughable.  In the worst cases, some borrowers are now seeing rate quotes that are an eighth of percentage point higher than those seen on Monday morning. [30 year fixed 4% for top scenarios]

Friday:
• At 8:30 AM ET, Personal Income and Outlays for May. The consensus is for a 0.3% increase in personal income, and for a 0.1% increase in personal spending. And for the Core PCE price index to increase 0.1%.
