U.S. mortgage rates rose yesterday and reached their highest levels since July, due to some positive domestic data that affected markets. However, we anticipate that mortgage interest rates will regain some of the ground they lost in recent days, as some mixed economic reports got released this Wednesday.

Earlier today, the Labor Department released the Consumer Price Index for July, which shows that prices remained unchanged on a seasonally adjusted basis for the second straight month. The core CPI rose only 0.1%, recording the smallest improvement since February.

According to the New York Federal Reserve, the Empire State Manufacturing Index slipped to minus 5.85 in August, resulting in thirteen points of decline from July’s 7.39 reading. The current data indicates a weak manufacturing acitivity in the New York region.

Despite these two negative reports, which are generally favorable for lower mortgage rates, the Industrial Production data for July suggests that the U.S. economy may be improving. The latest data from the Federal Reserve shows, that Industrial Production advanced 0.6% last month. Economists had forecasted an increase of 0.5%. Obviously, such positive data isn’t helping mortgage rates to improve.
