Ishakis Finance Report Mortgage Broker Brooklyn
Loan Officer Yael Ishakis’s take on mortgage and finance news.
We can’t be sure what the Fed will say or do this afternoon so if youâre floating a rate right now and wondering whether the time is right to lock, the safe choice is to lock before 2:15 PM ET today.
Today, in its first meeting in 5 weeks, the Federal Open Market Committee voted 9-to-1 to leave the Fed Funds Rate unchanged. The Fed Fund Rate remains within its target range of 0.000-0.250 percent.
