Today’s Mortgage Rates Increase: June 3, 2026
Today’s 30-year mortgage purchase rate rose to 6.586%, up from 6.577% the previous day, with experts predicting rates will remain above 6% for the 30-year term. The increase is linked to higher oil prices due to the U.S. war in Iran, which has driven inflation to 3.8% annually, the highest since May 2023.
