As of October 28, what looked like a near-certain hold is now almost a coin toss, with a slight lean toward a hike\u2014largely in response to the US central bank\u2019s recent move. It\u2019s important to remember that borrowing costs are already in motion due to climbing bond yields, which directly impact how lenders price mortgages, even when the central bank doesn\u2019t change its rate. Rising oil prices, partly tied to the situation in Iran, have heightened inflation concerns. Policymakers are closely watching the gap between headline inflation, which hovers around 3%, and the core inflation rate (excluding gasoline), closer to 2%. If you have a variable-rate mortgage or a HELOC, you\u2019re likely to feel any policy changes faster than most\u2014a $400,000 balance over 25 years could see payments rise by about $50\u2013$60 per month for every quarter-point hike. For those with renewals coming up soon, a rate hold could offer some relief, while those with longer-term horizons needn\u2019t react hastily.
