Mortgage rates on the 30-year fixed loan increased to 6.51%, up from 6.36% last week, driven by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and market reactions to the Federal Reserve leadership change. The 15-year fixed mortgage rate also rose to 5.85%. Despite the new Fed chair Kevin Warsh's appointment, markets expect no rate cuts this year, with inflation concerns and oil prices influencing borrowing costs. Buyers are advised to shop around for the best mortgage deals to save money.
