The Fed just cut rates… so why are mortgage rates getting worse?

In this week’s episode of The Loans Elevated Podcast, Broch and TJ break down the recent Fed announcement — the October 2025 rate cut — and why the headlines don’t tell the full story. From the ongoing sell-off of mortgage-backed securities to the Fed’s mixed signals on inflation, they unpack what really drives mortgage rates and why your clients may see higher pricing even after a rate cut.

They also discuss how Amazon’s massive AI-driven layoffs and the political tension between Jerome Powell and President Trump are shaping investor sentiment and economic policy. The result? A volatile mortgage market and a lot of consumer confusion.

If you’ve ever had a buyer text you, “Did my rate drop 0.25%?” — this episode is for you.
