In a Sunday letter to Fed Chair Powell, shared first with CNN, Warren expressed alarm at how “astronomical” mortgage rates have made a bad situation worse and urged Fed officials to start cutting borrowing costs.
“We urge you to consider the effects of your interest rate decisions on the housing market and to reverse the troubling rate hikes that have put affordable housing out of reach for too many,” Warren and fellow Democratic Sens.
John Hickenlooper, Jacky Rosen and Sheldon Whitehouse wrote.
“Come on, Fed!
Turn it around and drop those interest rates,” Warren told CNN’s Kate Bolduan on Monday.
