According to Freddie Mac data, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate fell to 6.48% from 6.53%. A year ago, the rate was 6.85%. The peak sales season is facing pressure from high borrowing costs as economic uncertainty stemming from the Iran war pushes up inflation expectations and keeps mortgage rates high.

WTI Price Analysis: Testing the $80 level versus the broad USD

On Monday, crude oil prices are lower as a risk-averse sentiment underpins the U.S. dollar. The price of the black gold is a few cents above its intraday low of $79.71 per barrel and is approaching the range's bottom.

 

Early in April, the Organization of the Oil Exporting Countries and Allies (OPEC+) astonished market participants by announcing a 1.16 million-barrel-per-day reduction in their oil output, which pushed West Texas Intermediate (WTI) approximately 5.5% higher on April 3 and left a $4 void. Since the announcement, WTI has been consolidating between $79 and $81.80, unable to find fresh directionality.

 

Higher energy prices have contributed to inflation's meteoric rise, and OPEC+'s decision came as a complete surprise, reigniting concerns not only about price pressure but also about economic growth.
