U.S. Fed Chair Jerome Powell's remarks at the Annual Jackson Hole Economic Symposium have sent ripples through financial markets. The 30-year fixed mortgage rate dropped to 6.55%, marking a 7-basis-point decline within 24 hours. This shift comes as builders and homebuyers grapple with affordability challenges.
Real estate stocks rallied on the news, reflecting improved investor sentiment. The Fed's nuanced approach to balancing employment concerns with inflation targets appears to be reducing market uncertainty. While mortgage rates hover NEAR 10-month lows, the central bank's signaling suggests a cautious but deliberate path toward potential rate cuts.
