What was said around it

shutdown the likelihood of mortgage rates dropping any lower than they currently are is rather unlikely and if i were to guess i would say that we're most likely to see interest rates begin going up especially if another stimulus is passed but don't worry quite yet because mortgage rates are still at their all-time record lows so in terms of locking in a refinance or a mortgage you're still not too late to do so but i wouldn't recommend waiting for too much longer if you're looking to refinance or lock in an interest rate now on top of that long term we could begin seeing savings accounts start to pay a little bit more interest like we did in the past although like i said it's still probably a little bit too early to tell and we would need to see these interest rates sustained for a longer period of time for them to begin translating over to a savings account overall though here's what you need to do about this just focus on what you can control obviously go out and vote so your voice is heard that's an easy one but besides that volatility like this is going to be normal over the next few weeks to next few months and it's really up to you to have an understanding of what this means for
