Deep dives
Federal Reserve Interest Rate Cut
The Federal Reserve's recent decision to cut interest rates by 50 basis points marks a significant shift in monetary policy, particularly since rates had been steady since July 2023. Market participants largely anticipated this cut, with expectations reinforced by the CME FedWatch tool showing a 64% probability for such an action. However, the reaction of the bond market was intriguing, as the yield on the 10-year Treasury rose following the announcement, suggesting a complex interplay between expectations and market sentiments. This dichotomy reveals potential uncertainties regarding the economic outlook and raises questions about the implications for both commercial and residential real estate markets.
