More people on this board need to be talking about this. It’s going to MASSIVELY help the job market and confidence.

Granted we aren’t getting another cut in October since the fed is off that month, it’s still big since the expectation was a quarter point.

If we get to more quarter point cuts to end the year it “should” be a very merry Xmas for everyone.

Just bought a home which I slightly overpaid 5-10k but closing in October. Prices about to go thru the roof with additionally people in market, good luck to those who was waiting. I wanted to get in before more buyers come and sellers get all power. Hope this helps with car prices though, I'm trying to buy a new one next year and not trying to pay 1k a mont for the most basic shyt

Funny thing is that I told people this last year and they told me I was wrong. My current mortgage is at 3%. I was hoping to buy a few properties early next year but the .5 isn't really encouraging when it's at 6-8% currently

Got an offer accepted on a spot a couple weeks ago, closing scheduled for mid October. Probably going to lock in the rate Monday.

shyt probably about to get nasty soon. Insane how I'm looking at high 5s now and going :blessed:when the condo I bought in 2021 was at 2.75%.

Does anyone know the ratio of Fed cuts to commercial rate cuts? iirc it's not 1 to 1
So a half point Fed cut could mean avg commercial rates go from 6% to like 5% or something like that


What does this mean for the stock market?:lupe:
Dow already up 300 points since the announcement

How will it help the job market?

I’m not sure this will make companies stray away from the path they currently on?
