This could change in the coming days as important new economic reports are released. Wednesday's Consumer Price Index (CPI) is the biggest deal, but tomorrow's Producer Price Index (PPI) could play a supporting role. [30 year fixed 6.55%]

Tuesday:
• At 6:00 AM ET, NFIB Small Business Optimism Index for July.

8:30 AM, The Producer Price Index for July from the BLS. The consensus is for a 0.2% increase in PPI, and a 0.2% increase in core PPI.
