Newark Daily Brief: A Breather on Rates, and Two Sellers Cut Prices

October 7, 2026 · 2 min read

Mortgage News Daily's 30 year fixed eased to 7.56% on Tuesday from Monday's 7.61%, and the 15 year to 7.22%. The 10 year Treasury closed Tuesday at 5.27%, but it touched 5.35% this morning, its highest level since April 2002 according to CNBC, so the breather may be short.
