Show Notes

The Federal Reserve is holding interest rates steady — and now expects just one rate cut in 2026.

In this episode, Kathy Fettke breaks down what's behind the Fed's decision, including rising inflation risks, higher energy prices, and growing global uncertainty. While inflation has cooled, it may take longer to reach the Fed's target.

What does this mean for real estate investors?

Kathy explains how inflation impacts Treasury yields and mortgage rates — and why borrowing costs could stay higher for longer, affecting affordability and housing demand.
