Freddie Mac: US 30-Year Mortgage Rate Rises to 6.95%, Fourth Straight Weekly Gain

Four straight weekly increases put this at the highest reading in roughly a year, a signal that the cost of household credit is moving against the broader easing narrative that has supported risk assets, including tokenized Treasury and real-estate-linked products. The read-through is narrow but real: housing affordability and any RWA yield instrument tied to mortgage or property cash flows now face a higher discount-rate backdrop. Whether this is a durable repricing or a short-lived run-up ahead of the next data print is the open question worth tracking.
