This morning, at 8:30 AM ET, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released its Non-Farm Payrolls report for January 2011. Mortgage rates are rising in response.
For this month — and for the rest of 2011– employment data will figure big in mortgage markets and for home affordability. Today’s release is the first big splash.
Mortgage rates are rising, up nearly 1 percent since mid-October. Tomorrow, rates could rise again.
Mortgage rates have been falling since April, shedding more than 1 percentage point since the Refi Boom began. Today, that momentum could lose some steam.
According to the government, 95,000 jobs were lost in September. Economists expected a net loss of 5,000. Mortgage rates should improve on the data today.
On the first Friday of each month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics releases Non-Farm Payrolls data for the month prior. 54,000 jobs were created in August.
