Tuesday: CPI

From Matthew Graham at Mortgage News Daily: Mortgage Rate Winning Streak Finally Pauses, But Just Barely

Mortgage rates hit their best levels in more than a month by the end of last week after moving lower for 4 straight days.

[A]ll eyes are on CPI tomorrow. If it comes in much higher or lower than expected, rates will likely react in a major way. [30 year fixed 6.87%]
emphasis added
