This cautious optimism entirely depends on inflation and the direction central bankers take. To show how quickly times have changed, the United Nations advised central banks around the world to pause rate hikes. This isn't unprecedented, but it is very rare.

Your favourite brokers also answer some questions regarding home equity loans during these times of high interest rates. If you are looking to access equity, you need to carefully weigh the market uncertainty. First, weigh the premiums that come with it against the possibility of equity erosion if you wait too long.  Second, borrowing to invest also needs to be done carefully right now. Given how high rates are right now, you need to be very confident.

The value and growth potential of the investment needs to justify the cost of borrowing. Similarly, some equities are at huge discounts right now. However, these opportunities still need to be evaluated carefully.

If you're looking for a stable investment to get you through these economic hardships, take a look at the Cannect Mortgage Fund.
