Episode Synopsis "Higher-For-Longer Interest Rate Environment Creates Headwinds For The Market (Episode 111)"

Home sales in California declined further last month as buyers and sellers continued to struggle with the high-mortgage-interest rate landscape not seen in the last two decades. The sharp increase in the past few weeks was due primarily to the Fed’s announcement at their latest meeting that rates will be kept “higher for longer”, which dashed market participants’ hope for more significant rate cuts in 2024. As investors continue to assess the economic outlook and the uncertainty brought on by the geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, there will be more volatility on rates in the short term.
