Stagflation can be worse than a recession. Investors are already bracing for it. Getty Images/ DNY59/ Jeffrey Hazelwood Even if you haven't lived through a major recession, it's scary to think about.

The Fed's interest rate adjustments matter for the housing market, just not in the way you think. Saifulasmee Chede/Getty Images/CNET The Federal Reserve voted to extend a pause on interest rate cuts for a third consecutive time this year. As markets face lingering inflation, heightened recession risks and overall uncertainty, holding rates steady gives the central bank time to assess the impact of President Donald Trump's erratic tariff campaign, immigration policies and federal cutbacks.
