Opendoor Technologies Stock Sees a Surge, But Is It Really That Big of a Deal?
Alright, let’s take a deep breath here. Since Opendoor is basically tethered to the whims of the housing market-where buyers and sellers are just *waiting* for rates to come down-its stock moves in lockstep with any mention of a rate cut. So, if the Fed decides to cut rates by 25 basis points on Wednesday, as expected, well, that could help Opendoor. Or it could not. You know, it’s all speculation.

It’s all coming down to one simple thing: rate cuts. And here’s the kicker: in June, the Fed thought there’d be a 50 basis point cut this year. But, surprise, surprise, the labor market’s softened, so maybe that’s off the table now. But let’s just wait and see.
