Mortgage rates remained close to 6.8% again this week as financial markets continued to whipsaw on tariff news. The average 30-year mortgage rate was 6.81% in the week through Wednesday, according to Freddie Mac data, little changed from 6.83% a week earlier. Average 15-year mortgage rates were 5.94%, down from 6.03%. Mortgage rates have risen roughly 20 basis points in the weeks since President Trump announced his sweeping tariff policy. Although Trump opted to delay some tariffs, investors have grown jittery about investing in the US, sending stocks lower and bond yields higher. Read more: When will mortgage rates go…

Image source: Getty Images A little passive income goes a long way, especially during uncertain times. Building an eventual chunky second income doesn’t require a windfall. It simply needs consistency, patience (lots of it) and the willingness to get started. I’d aim to generate it by investing in FTSE 100 shares. The UK’s blue-chip index is full of established dividend-paying businesses that can potentially generate wealth, year after year, with little effort on my part once the investments are made. Investing small sums in shares Some may think investing is only for those with deep pockets. I’d say that’s nonsense.…

It looks like the results were a bit of a negative overall.

Image source: Getty Images Lloyds Banking Group (LSE: LLOY) shares suffered from President Trump’s first tariff announcement on 2 April. They plunged in just a few days to hit a low on 7 April of 60.8p. What’s Lloyds, a fully UK-focused retail bank, got to fear from US import restrictions? Well, banking and other finance stocks tend to fall across the board in the face of any economic threats. And this was definitely one of those. We’re now seeing the US administration backtracking from all-out trade war. And since the fall, the Lloyds share price has rebounded by a very…
