The Mortgage Mindset

Episode #22 - Understanding Fed Rate Cuts and Trump's Real Estate Agenda

Trevor Otsuka

 In Episode 22 of The Mortgage Mindset, we break down today’s Federal Open Market Committee decision to cut the Fed funds rate by 0.25% and explain why this adjustment doesn’t directly control mortgage interest rates. Next, we preview a key economic report to watch: October’s CPI data, set to release next Wednesday, and discuss its potential influence on mortgage rates. Finally, we dive into a recent article from The Real Deal covering former President Trump’s return to the White House and his proposed policies that could impact the real estate industry—from SALT deductions to Opportunity Zones. Tune in to get ahead of these market shifts and gain valuable insights for both you and your clients!
