This week’s inflation news brought some holiday cheer! The Federal Reserve’s preferred metric rose just 0.115%—the lowest since May—easing worries about rising prices. Next week, keep an eye on Consumer Confidence, Durable Goods Orders, and Jobless Claims, as light holiday trading could amplify their impact. From all of us at First Home, we wish you and your family a joyful holiday season! Information provided by James Baublitz, CFA #MarketUpdate #HappyHolidays #FirstHomeMortgage
