“Mortgage rates rose last Friday after a strong jobs report made it very likely that the Fed will hike interest rates again in June, but edged slightly lower after centrist Emmanuel Macron won the French presidential election, reducing financial market risk in Europe,” said Erin Lantz, vice president of mortgages at Zillow, in a statement. “This week, markets are likely to focus on several Fed speeches and inflation data due Wednesday, but rates should remain stable overall.”
