The rise discouraged buyers, with mortgage applications falling 1.6 percent.
'Mortgage rates increased last week as incoming data showed inflation was still hotter than expected, which stoked concerns about the timing and extent to which the Fed might be able to reduce the fed funds rates this year,' Joel Kan, the MBA's deputy chief economist, said in a statement shared with Newsweek.'After three weeks of declines, the 30-year fixed mortgage rate increased to 6.97 percent.
