Mortgage market updates show a rise in purchase mortgage applications and a drop in the 30-year mortgage rate in the US. Weekly mortgage refinance demand increased after a slight dip in rates. Altos data indicates a growth in homes on the market affecting future sale prices. Various economic reports and Fed speakers are scheduled for tomorrow, including Wholesale Inventories and speeches by Fed officials.
