Fed rate outlook: ‘We’ve gotten some signs things are cooling,’ strategist says

Fed FOMC meeting minutes reinforce cautious pause on interest rates as inflation cools but economic risks pervade. RBC Capital Markets Head of Rates Strategy Blake Gwinn says stock markets sold off early in 2023 on inflation and supply worries, but the second half of the year data showed progress — especially on CPI (Consumer Price Index) prints — which he says “[changes] the context.” Investors still expect future rate cuts as conditions improve, which Gwinn agrees with but emphasizes persisting uncertainties. Gwinn believes the economy’s resilience may force the Fed to “proactively” ease tightness before a hard landing scenario appears on the horizon. Gwinn notes better data has shifted views […]

AI regulation: ‘Big Tech has far too large a voice,’ Appian Founder and CEO

The tech industry is still reeling from the days of turmoil at OpenAI. Appian Founder and CEO Matt Calkins (APPN) says that what happened at OpenAI seems to be a “governance failure. Calkins explains that he understands how it can happen, saying “in our industry, the software industry, we’ve got a lot of talented, essential, and sometimes unpolished people and the board’s job is to educate, not necessarily to discipline, but to try to smooth the edges without killing the golden goose.” Calkins doesn’t think that issues at OpenAI are resolved, but that these changes represent “a chance to reset.” For more expert insight and the latest market action, click […]

Mortgage rates fall for 4th straight week

Mortgages rates have fallen for the fourth week in a row. The average rate for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage is down to 7.29%, according to Freddie Mac. That rate is still higher than it was a year ago, but it has been enough to lure some buyers back into the market, with the Mortgage Brokers Association reporting an uptick in mortgage applications. So what does this all mean for 2024? Morgan Stanley economists say there are a lot of factors that will be driving the housing market next year, but their base case is that home prices will fall 3% if mortgage rates come down.

‘OpenAI and Microsoft are very, very close partners,’ analyst says

Microsoft (MSFT) shares rose amid drama at AI partner OpenAI, after MSFT offered jobs to OpenAI staff following CEO Sam Altman’s swift firing and rehiring. Piper Sandler Analyst Brent Bracelin says despite tensions, Microsoft retains strong AI footing with Azure, ChatGPT integration and its OpenAI-powered Copilot. Bracelin says establishing OpenAI’s governance post the leadership shakeup is now imperative. He argues Microsoft rightly lent Altman support, though the episode exposed Microsoft’s lack of control in the company despite being a major shareholder. By hiring Altman temporarily and reaffirming OpenAI ties, Bracelin speculates Microsoft may gain an OpenAI board seat. Still, OpenAI’s internal volatility spotlights the need for both clarity around decision-making […]
