How does a FED rate cut affect mortgage rates?

The rate at which the bank lends money to each other is known as FED rate. Since nowadays the interest rates are quite lower, especially for the short term loans, refinancing and mortgaging would be ideally done by lowering the FED rate.

From the above, it may be concluded that FED rate determines the short time investments. The fates of maximum short term investments are determined by FED rate. But this is not the case with long term investments. The long term investments are determined by the bond market and the share market.

For example, if you make an investment for a span of 30 years then your investment would be declared as a long term investment and FED will have in function in determining the fate of such n investment. If you make an investment for a period of 30 years or like that, then it is a long term investment.

But at the present, people are afraid about the pros and cons of the long term investment and therefore do not want to go into such trouble so they prefer the short term investment procedures. Herein lies the importance of FED. If you have any mortgage, FED would be able to handle the case without difficulty and therefore would be of immense help to you.
