Summary

The Federal Reserve is expected to hold interest rates steady, but the real story is what they say next. In this live event, we’ll break down the Fed decision, Chairman Powell’s comments, inflation risks, oil prices, bond market reaction, and what all of it could mean for mortgage rates. For homebuyers, this could impact affordability, monthly payments, and whether it makes sense to lock or float. For homeowners, it could affect refinance opportunities, home equity decisions, and when to watch for a better rate. Join us live as we translate the Fed’s message into plain English — no hype, just what it means for your mortgage strategy.
