Matt Stucky, Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management Senior Portfolio Strategist, joins Yahoo Finance’s Josh Schafer and Brad Smith to discuss his predictions and how he believes investors should remain cautious. Stucky lays out his reasons for rate cuts: “Typically when the Fed cuts, they don’t cut 25 basis points at a time. They tend to cut in response to economic weakness.

Homebuilding is the ‘only game in town’ come 2024

A bounce in homebuilder sentiment as 2023 comes to a close along with tailwinds of both moderating mortgage rates and still-recovering housing supply is laying the foundation for a strong homebuilding market in 2024, according to NAHB CEO Jim Tobin.

However, Tobin still cautions that headwinds persist from construction labor markets being “consistently underemployed.” About Yahoo Finance: Yahoo Finance provides free stock […]
