About US housing:
At the end of 2014 approximately 64% of Americans owned a home. This shows a trend of millennials who are less likely to pursue home ownership.
In 2008, $3.3 Trillion was the total loss in value for the US housing market. In early 2006 housing market value was close to $9.4 Trillion.
Since 2008, over 8 million jobs have been added to the job market! This has allowed many Americans to get back on track and recover from the recession.
The DOW uo 107 points. Feds kick the can.
The DOW closed up 107 points or 0.59 the S&P500 was up 21 points 0.97%, and NASDAQ was up 42 points or 0.80% for the week ending September 23.Oil was up $0.84 or 0.6% to $44.6 per barrel. Year to date, the DOW is now up 4.8%, S&P500 is up 5.9%, and NASDAQ is up 6.0%.
The Feds felt that the key economic indicators, such as, inflation, unemployment rate, and US economy are improving but it would like to wait and see if economic conditions continue to stay on the desired path. The next opportunity to change the interest rate will be in December.
This past December the Fed raised interest rates after seven years. The Fed rate was raised by 0.25% from a range of 0.00%-0.25% to 0.25%-0.5%. The Discount rate was also raised by 0.25% from 0.75% to 1.00%.
TheFederal Reservethinks that US economy is expanding and other economic indicators such as unemployment rates hovering at record low at 4.9%, inflation remains contained at below 2%, housing market conditions improving, consumer spending remains strong, however, the world economy has not picked up as yet, and therefore, at this point leaving the interest rates unchanged.
