The 30-year fixed mortgage rate stands at 6.52% as of June 5, 2026, holding steady amid a surge in Treasury yields following a stronger-than-expected jobs report that reinforced expectations the Federal Reserve may raise interest rates later this year.
The 10-year Treasury yield jumped 6 basis points to 4.54% on Friday after the Labor Department reported the U.S. economy added 172,000 jobs in May, well above forecasts of 85,000. The unemployment rate held at 4.3%, while average hourly earnings rose 0.3% for the month, in line with expectations, according to Trading Economics.
The stronger labor market data heightened concerns about persistent inflation and shifted market expectations on monetary policy. The 2-year Treasury yield, which is more sensitive to Federal Reserve rate decisions, rose about 10 basis points to 4.16%, with markets now pricing in a quarter-point rate hike as a possibility before year-end.

Mortgage rates track the 10-year Treasury yield closely, with lenders adding a spread to the benchmark rate. As Treasury yields rise in response to economic strength or inflation concerns, mortgage rates typically follow. The current 6.52% rate reflects the elevated yield environment, keeping borrowing costs elevated for homebuyers and those considering refinancing.
The 15-year fixed mortgage rate averaged 5.87% on the same day, according to Bankrate’s latest survey of lenders. The broader trend shows interest rates today remain sensitive to labor market data and inflation signals as the Fed weighs whether to adjust its current policy stance.
