Mortgage Industry Calendar
Mortgage Industry Events Calendar — economic reports and Fed decisions that directly affect rates, lock strategy, pipelines, and lender planning.
June 2026
Fed Beige Book
A softer or firmer regional read can shift short-term rate sentiment and influence same-day lock timing.
Initial Jobless Claims
Weekly labor data can move mortgage rates intraday if it changes expectations for Fed policy persistence.
Nonfarm Payrolls
The monthly jobs report is a top driver of Treasury yields and mortgage rate volatility, making it a key lock-day risk event.
Unemployment Rate and Average Hourly Earnings
Wage and unemployment details can rapidly reprice bonds and change lender pricing before midday.
Consumer Price Index (CPI)
Inflation is one of the biggest mortgage rate catalysts, and CPI often causes sharp intraday swings in MBS and Treasury yields.
Treasury 10-Year Note Auction
A strong or weak 10-year auction can move the benchmark yield that heavily influences mortgage pricing.
Treasury 30-Year Bond Auction
Long-bond demand can spill over into mortgage-backed securities and affect rate sheets into the close.
Federal Reserve FOMC Rate Decision
The policy statement and dots can reset mortgage rate expectations and create major repricing risk for open locks.
Fed Chair Press Conference
Chair comments often drive the biggest same-day move in mortgage rates after the FOMC announcement.
Initial Jobless Claims
Claims can confirm or reverse the post-Fed market tone and influence late-day lock decisions.
Existing Home Sales
Housing demand and supply signals help gauge refinance and purchase pipeline health, especially when rates are moving.
New Home Sales
New home sales can affect builder sentiment and purchase volume expectations, which matter for origination pipelines.
Gross Domestic Product (Final/3rd Estimate)
A stronger-than-expected growth print can push yields higher and pressure mortgage pricing.
July 2026
Employment Situation Report
The first Friday jobs report is a primary mortgage-rate catalyst and can materially alter lock/float strategy.
