Reducing Fed interest rate does not help dollar, nor housing market.
Mortgage rate is based on 30-year T bond, which has been very stable
over the past 10 years. Short-term interest rate does not affect long-
term interest rate that much. On the other hand, lowering interest
rate weakens the U.S. dollar, which helps to increase the commodity
price (inflation), which negatively affects the economy.
That last is just plain wrong.
