Will a fed rate cut lead to lower mortgages? Maybe not.

With everyone talking about a fed rate cut in September home buyers and mortgage holders are hoping they can see more favorable interest rates on 30 year mortgages soon. But will a lower fed funds rate actually lead to lower mortgage rates? Maybe not.

In this episode Austin Preece and I tackle some common misconceptions around interest rates. We get into the 2 jobs the Fed has, why mortgages are more closely related to the 10 year treasury than the Fed Funds rate (in non-investmenty speak), why so many millennial financial advisors hate bonds (maybe hate is a strong word), and how tactical bond investors might change their strategy going into the end of 2025.
