MCT has a Blog Post About How The Federal Reserve Affects Mortgage Rates

With the recent 50 basis point rate cut by the Federal Reserve, and expectations of additional rate cuts by end of year, there has never been a better time to review how these cuts affect mortgage rates.

The article also reviews how the Federal Reserve leverages short term interest rates, purchasing of assets, and liquidity to achieve their dual mandate of maximum employment and stable prices.
