Federal Funds Rate and Mortgage Rates Relationship
The podcast discusses how the federal funds rate impacts mortgage rates. An increase in the federal funds rate leads to higher short-term borrowing costs, translating to higher expenses for longer-term borrowing like mortgages. Currently, the spread between U.S. Treasury and mortgage rates is larger than expected. The outlook suggests the spread may remain above the long-run average due to the duration risk lenders face.
