Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell just hinted that quantitative tightening (balance-sheet runoff) may end “in coming months” to avoid 2019-style funding stress. That’s bullish for the long end (i.e., 10-yr down → mortgage rates down). Also, the market expects another rate cut at the October 28-29 meeting and likely one in December.

When the Market’s Quiet, Opportunity Speaks Louder — Here’s Why

When the Market’s Quiet, Opportunity Speaks Louder — Here’s Why

In the often turbulent world of finance, “quiet” spells more than just calm — it can signal opening doors. Recently, a quick market update video titled “Your Market Flash – Quiet Market = Big Opportunity” caught my attention. Its core message? Even in a week without fresh CPI, PPI, or jobs data, there is useful information to glean — especially from bond yields. The 10-year yield hovering at ~4.03% is one such signpost, and it may hint at better affordability for the housing market and opportunities for smarter mortgage decisions. YouTube Let’s unpack why that matters — especially if you're thinking about buying a home, refinancing, or simply navigating the interest rate landscape.
