The Fed chair Jerome Powell decided to stop interest rate hikes. It's in the news, it's what's trending - but is it accurate? If so, what are the effects on storage?

The potential rate drop creates a weird dichotomy. Despite wanting GDP to drop, and for unemployment to rise, the Fed changing its tune is surprising. Recessions are the most effective way to stop inflation...when it works. It's also an election year: historically, the Fed has only changed rates once before an election. It threatens the politics involved, and they want to step back.

If they're going to do something, they have to make a decision quickly.

In self storage, this affects more than just the price of a storage unit. This can hit maintenance costs, building/renovations, staffing costs, advertising, and much more.
