Mortgage rates and real estate: U.S. housing market recovery will be ‘slow trickle’: Economist

The US housing market is long overdue to catch a break as experts believe peaking mortgage rates have come just in time alongside Fed forecasts planning for interest rate cuts in 2024. Redfin Chief Economist Daryl Fairweather tells Yahoo Finance this could be a set up for a slow recovery for homebuyers. “It’s going to be more of a slow trickle of people deciding that ‘you know, I can’t wait any longer and I want to move,'” Fairweather comments, “but a strong economy does mean that more people are moving for job opportunities — they feel more confident, they feel like even though rates are high, they can make it […]

Biden and Xi summit might be the ‘most important meeting’ since Nixon: Dennis Unkovic

President Biden’s face-to-face meeting with China’s Xi Jinping today marks the most significant talks between the leaders of the two nations since Nixon’s China visit, according to author and attorney Dennis Unkovic.

However, he thinks “Biden either can’t or won’t deliver” on core Chinese interests. He highlights the military communication breakdown following House Speaker Pelosi’s Taiwan visit against Xi’s wishes. Unkovic says reopening direct lines between U.S. and Chinese military officials is crucial in case crises emerge. “If […]
