Thoughts from Brian!


After last weeks FED meeting, and comments made by Jerome Powell over the weekend, Traders have lost all hope for a March rate cut. This has caused the markets to move sideways as Traders reposition their money. The result, mortgage rates have ticked up and will stay around current levels until the next FED meeting in March. Traders think the FED will be forced to cut rates sooner than the June timeframe that the FED laid out back in December, but the FED is sticking to their guns, warning Traders to not be so optimistic. The FED is focused on market stability and they will not cut rates until they feel they have achieved this.
