September Rate Hikes, Warsh's Warning From Jackson Hole, Housing Market Collapse | Money Moves

With economic data remaining elevated and geopolitical tensions causing unexpected oil spikes, the likelihood of rate cuts continues to fluctuate, creating unique challenges for both commercial and residential lending environments.

The discussion also explores the approaching "silver tsunami" in the US housing market, examining how the demographic shift of baby boomers selling their homes will impact supply and pricing over the next decade. Finally, the episode outlines three critical benchmarks to measure true financial health and shares a highly effective, unconventional relationship-building strategy previously utilized by Bill Clinton.
