What happened
The Federal Reserve is monitoring inflation, which is currently driven by the U.S. war with Iran and energy price shocks. Due to the conflict in the Strait of Hormuz, crude oil prices have soared, leading to increased inflation. The central bank has been raising interest rates, which have caused average long-term U.S. home loan rates to reach highs in over a year.
Why it matters
The Fed's rate hikes are intended to curb inflation but are simultaneously causing market strain. High mortgage rates are limiting buyers' purchasing power and contributing to a slowdown in home sales. Furthermore, the Fed noted that the housing market faces structural issues regarding supply.
