Interest Rates vs. Home Prices in 2026 — What Matters More? As we move deeper into 2026, one question continues to dominate conversations across East Tennessee: are interest rates or home prices having the bigger impact on today's buyers and sellers? With rates fluctuating and home values holding steady in many areas, understanding how these two forces work together is critical. Should buyers wait? Should sellers adjust pricing strategies? And how do you make the smartest move in this market? On this week's episode of Real Estate with Ryan, Ryan Coleman breaks down how interest rates and home prices are shaping the 2026 market — and what it means for you right here in East Tennessee. If you're planning to buy, sell, or refinance, this is an episode you don't want to miss.

Westpac's economists are picking 6 consecutive OCR hikes from December - they're forecasting that it will hit 4% by the end of next year. The OCR dropped to 2.25% just before Christmas, which is where it stands now, but there have been rumblings for some time that we'd start seeing hikes soon, as all major banks lifted long-term loan rates.

From the lows of December retail sales to the highs of January payrolls, recent US data has sent mixed signals. But the economy remains in relatively good shape, argues Deputy Chief North America Economist Stephen Brown on the latest episode of the Capital Economics Weekly Briefing. He explores why the idea of a “K-shaped” economy may be overstated, what markets are missing about the productivity growth upturn, and the chances of much lower rates from a Kevin Warsh-led Fed. Also on the show, as Keir Starmer's government reels from one of its toughest weeks yet, Deputy Chief UK Economist Ruth Gregory assesses what a change of leadership could mean for the UK economy and financial markets, but also why the long-term growth outlook may not be as bleak as recent headlines suggest.AI already making a big contribution to US productivity growthWhy we still believe in the AI rally, and the S&P 500Would a stock market crash cause a global recession?Can China's trade surplus rise further?

It's Q&A Wednesday: You ask 'em, we'll answer—and today's episode covers the questions investors actually wrestle with when markets get noisy. Lance Roberts & Danny Ratliff start with a preview of upcoming economic reports and what recent data may be signaling about slowing growth and the next bout of market volatility. From there, we dig into real portfolio decisions—especially for investors heading into retirement—including how to think about allocation changes, managing risk, and avoiding the behavioral traps that derail long-term outcomes. Lance & Danny also hit the big evergreen topics: recency bias, whether there's truly a "one stock to own forever," what buffered ETFs do (and don't) protect you from, and the mechanics behind the bond yield / interest-rate relationship. We also tackle timely portfolio choices like metals, tax-deferred vs. taxable accounts, seasonality, foreign currency trades, and how to invest in individual bonds. We wrap with practical tradeoffs around high-yield savings, the reality of beating the market consistently, and a broader discussion on growth modeling—plus a curveball question: Is AI going to take our jobs? 0:00 - INTRO 0:19 - Economic Reports Preview: More Weakness? 4:59 - Markets Do What They Do - More Volatility? 11:04 - How Should I Change My Portfolio Going Into Retirement? 17:48 - Dealing with Recency Bias 21:04 - The One Stock to Own Forever 24:20 - The Thing About Buffered ETF's 28:19 - Inverse Relationship Between Bond Yields vs Interest Rates 34:10 - Metals: Selling Today? 35:50 - Tax-deferred vs Taxable brokerage Accounts 39:16 - Using Seasonality When Investing 40:48 - Dealing with Foreign Currency Trades 44:00 - How to Invest in Individual Bonds? 47:01 - The Pro's & Con's of High Yield Savings 48:11 - Do You Consistently Beat the Market? 53:36 - Defining Magnitude and Modeling Growth 55:31 - Is AI Going to Take Our Jobs?

The Coalition on track to reunite after a messy split.

Interest rates just went up again — and right on cue, everyone lost their minds. This week, we've brought in Julien Mougenot, Head of Dashdot Technology, to do something wild: pull apart our own original correlation research — live, on air — and break down what the data actually says in real time. We ran a fresh correlation analysis (literally 24-48 hours before this conversation) comparing median sales price growth against interest rates, interest rate changes, and M3 money supply across every major market in Australia. The findings? They'll challenge everything you thought you knew about the relationship between rates and property prices. Here's what we unpack: Why interest rates and property prices are actually positively correlated (yes, they tend to move in the same direction) The real driver behind Australian property prices — and it's not rates How COVID fundamentally changed the way property markets behave What compressed market cycles mean for your investment strategy Why chasing hotspots without a system is the new trap This one gets nerdy. There are heat maps, correlation tables, and a genuine live analysis on what all this data really means. If you want to understand what's actually driving the market right now — not what the headlines tell you — this is the episode.

A new Fed Chair has been nominated—and he could do what no Fed has done before. Kevin Warsh, the youngest Fed governor appointed, serving during the Great Financial Crisis, is Trump's new pick, and his decisions could have major impacts on the housing market. But the mainstream media is missing a few key variables, falsely assuming that Warsh will kick off a series of rate cuts that end in lower interest rates. But, in reality, something completely different could happen—something that the Fed has never tried before. Warsh has strong opinions on quantitative easing (money printing) and wants to, in essence, delete some of the money the Fed has created over years of buying bonds and mortgage-backed securities. At the same time, Warsh will most likely push for rate cuts—a challenge given the Fed's divided members. So, what does this mean for mortgage rates? Could we see rates actually rise due to Warsh's plans, or could ending quantitative easing boost market confidence and lower long-term mortgage rates? We're getting into it all, plus what investors should do now regardless of what the Fed's next moves are. In This Episode We Cover Trump's new Federal Reserve Chair pick and why Trump is so keen to kick Powell out Higher mortgage rates incoming? What everyone is getting wrong about the Warsh pick The end of money printing: Why the new Fed Chair pick wants to delete dollars off the balance sheet Something the Fed has never done before: Can you lower rates while keeping inflation in check?

The Reserve Bank of Australia has ended a two-year hiatus by raising interest rates to 15 per cent, sparking a fierce political debate over whether government spending or private demand is fuelling persistent inflation. While the Treasurer defends the budget and points to external pressures, the Opposition and the Greens argue that current policy settings are punishing everyday Australians and ignoring alternative economic levers. - রিজার্ভ ব্যাংক অব অস্ট্রেলিয়া দুই বছরের বিরতির পর সুদের হার বাড়িয়েছে, যা দীর্ঘস্থায়ী মুদ্রাস্ফীতির পেছনে সরকারি ব্যয় নাকি বেসরকারি চাহিদা দায়ী—তা নিয়ে তীব্র রাজনৈতিক বিতর্ক সৃষ্টি করেছে।

Alex Gurevich, founder and Chief Investment Officer of HonTe Investments, a Bay Area-based investment management firm, and the author of The Next Perfect Trade and Wall Street Journal bestseller The Trades of March 2020, returns to The Julia La Roche Show. In this episode, Gurevich discuss his updated thesis on interest rates, deflation, and the forces shaping markets. He argues that zero interest rates are "not off the table" — and that the probability is far higher than the market is pricing. He sees labor market deterioration happening quietly under the surface, warning that "the less visible it is, the worse it's probably going to be" because policymakers won't act until it's too late. Unlike the consensus worried about inflation, Alex is firmly in the deflation camp, though he notes any deflation can be countered by fiscal stimulus — he just doesn't think the government will act aggressively enough given how burned they were by the post-COVID inflation. He also discusses his newly released second edition of "The Next Perfect Trade," explaining why he kept the original text intact to maintain intellectual honesty about what worked and what didn't over the past decade. He declares the 40-year bond bull market "definitively over," shares his framework on carry as an underappreciated edge, and offers a fascinating take on AI's future energy demands potentially exceeding the output of the sun.Links: Book: https://www.amazon.com/Next-Perfect-Trade-Magic-Necessity/dp/1544550014/X: https://x.com/agurevich23Website: https://honteinv.com/0:00 Welcome and congratulations on the second edition1:19 The Next Perfect Trade — second edition out now 2:01 Setting the table: The macro view today 3:30 All the fireworks have been in precious metals 4:08 Interest rates are "pinned in confusion" 4:45 Alex's view: Leaning toward zero rates 5:40 Labor market deterioration — the less visible, the worse it will be7:20 The behavior of rates during Fed cutting cycles 8:58 What zero rates would mean for the economy 9:36 The relationship between stocks, jobs, rates, and growth is broken 11:30 Could we have strong growth and weak jobs simultaneously? 13:13 Deflation, not inflation 14:10 The pendulum: Deflation, then too much stimulus, then inflation again15:25 Recency bias from COVID stimulus keeping government cautious16:02 Precious metals: What does the move signal? 18:41 Why the second edition?

The Reserve Bank cut the cash rate target three times last year, but already there's a U-turn. The RBA board is so concerned about inflation sticking around that it has increased interest rates for the first time since 2023.Today, the ABC's finance expert Alan Kohler on the RBAs failure to bring inflation down to its target and the mistakes it made in 2025. Featured: Alan Kohler, ABC finance expert

Last August, to the relief of many homeowners, the Reserve Bank's governor, Michele Bullock, announced a cut in interest rates and expressed confidence that inflation was heading in the right direction. But on Tuesday, the RBA hiked rates for the first time in over two years, raising the cash rate by 25 basis points to 3.85%. Guardian columnist and chief economist of the Australia Institute, Greg Jericho, talks to Nour Haydar about what the rate hike means, why he sees it as ‘cowardly' and what it all has to do with the Ashes

The markets are pricing in a 72 per cent chance of a rate hike today, the next question is by how much?

In January, President Trump urged Congress to cap credit card interest rates at 10% and said Americans are being “ripped off” by credit card companies. Bankers quickly opposed the idea, with some calling it an economic disaster. There is also debate over capping credit card late fees. We look at the pros and cons of these proposals and whether any of them would lead to more affordability.

With stocks swinging, interest rates shifting, and headlines creating noise, they break down how seasoned investors stay calm, focused, and intentional.   This is an honest conversation about navigating cycles, avoiding emotional decisions, and understanding where real opportunity shows up when others hesitate.   They cover key ideas that are shaping today's investor mindset, including:

Pascal Wagner interviews Jon Brooks, who breaks down why today's real estate market is sending mixed signals—and why getting that interpretation wrong can have real financial consequences. Jon explains how decades of falling interest rates created a powerful tailwind for real estate that no longer exists, especially in overbuilt Sunbelt markets like Florida. The conversation explores what's actually breaking versus what's simply slowing down, including rising insurance and tax costs, declining affordability, demographic headwinds, and stalled migration. Jon also shares why he sold his entire personal real estate portfolio, pivoted into private lending, and ultimately shifted capital into equities as risk-return dynamics changed. This matters because many investors are still relying on outdated assumptions about appreciation, cash flow, and long-term demand. Understanding how interest rates, demographics, and market psychology intersect helps investors reassess where risk is no longer being adequately compensated—and how to position capital without relying on the market to “save” them.
