Meritage Homes Jumps as Fed Rate Cut Hopes Rise

Meritage Homes stock surged over five percent on September 4th as anticipation of Federal Reserve interest rate cuts sent mortgage rates plummeting and fueled a rally in homebuilder stocks. Weak labor data is driving expectations of rate cuts, boosting housing demand and sending Treasury yields to four-month lows. While Meritage has seen volatility, this spike reflects investor optimism, mirroring a broader positive trend in the homebuilding sector amid record-high national home prices.
