Thread regarding JPMorgan Chase & Co. layoffs

Mortgage applications fell to a 22-year low last month!!!

It'll get even worse. Mortgage applications fell to a 22-year low last month, the management is reacting right now. If they raise interest rates for two additional percent (they will have to in order to tame inflation) you'll be looking at 7% or 8% mortgage rates. Nobody will be buying houses at current valuations/prices and those rates. Either prices have to come down (people will not drop prices, they will simply not sell) or the interest rates need to come down (fed cannot do that as that would reintroduce the inflation). Now we in a difficult position.

More layoffs to come.

Expect commercial banking to be affected as well, again, if we are talking about very high interest rates, people will stay away from loans.

It's very, very bad for employees.

You’re a clown if you think those at the top directly influence yours or anyone else’s businesses, whether you like this or the last guy. They can merely and barely influence the market. Markets do what they want to based upon supply and demand. WE as consumers create that demand; whether refrigerators, stocks/bonds, and/or mortgages. We feed the machine that drives our country and it isn’t all government. Gotta have someone in specific to blame for your problems though eh? Do what feels best for you but I don’t waste time blaming a president for all that’s wrong. Maybe I don’t know s*** though, just my opinion.
