As a substitute of President Ronald Reagan saying ““Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall” we’d like somebody to inform President Biden and Federal Reserve Jerome Powell to “Cease driving up costs and making housing unaffordable.” Sadly, The Fed thinks that elevating rates of interest will mood value will increase — it gained’t. Nevertheless it might tamper house value development.

So what we’re left with is hovering house costs AND hovering mortgage charges, leaving this scary chart. The housing price index has risen 114.5% beneath Biden.

Its solely going to worsen from right here.

At the moment’s jobs report for Might confirmed that the U-3 unemployment charge remained the identical as April, 3.60%. Nevertheless, that’s decrease than the NATURAL charge of unemployment of 4.445% indicating that the labor market is overheated. Traditionally, The Fed has tightened financial coverage by elevating charges when this has occurred. So, search for The Fed to maintain elevating charges.

As I’ve talked about earlier than, REAL hourly wage development is damaging since March 2021, simply after Biden signed his government orders canceling drilling on Federal lands and cancelling the Keystone Pipeline. Later, he canceled off-shore drilling permits and Alaska drilling. Now we have now REAL common hourly wages declining at -2.8% YoY as The Fed has been decreasing M2 Cash provide YoY.

Listings of houses is up 11% YoY, the very best in a number of years.

Let’s see how the housing market does with hovering mortgage charges.

How do you spell stagflation? M-O-N-E-Y … tightening.
