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.

Unkovic notes that unlike during Nixon’s time, China now operates on an equal playing field and has greater demands. 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 […]

Fed may achieve its goals without a recession: Strategist

As 2024 comes upon investors faster with every day, experts are now believing the Fed may reach its inflation mandates and promote GDP growth in the new year with a recession. Yardeni Research President Ed Yardeni explains the economy has been more resilient than even he expected, reconsidering his past recession calls. “It’s almost contrary to agree with the Fed, and I’ve been a contrarian saying the Fed may actually get it right.

Fed rate outlook, plus a look at opportunities in Big Tech and small caps

As the stock market surges, inflation cools, and consumer spending habits shift, many investors are betting that the Federal Reserve is done with interest rate hikes and are preparing for a soft landing scenario.
