QUERY: I'm working with CBS News to write an informative article about 3 mortgage rate scenarios we could see this summer.
I need US-based industry experts (e.g., mortgage and home equity loan officers, banking/credit union executives, mortgage brokers, secondary market analysts, etc.) to share unique insights.
To be considered, please answer the following questions (all or the ones you can answer):
1. In your professional opinion, what is the most likely mortgage rate scenario we'll see this summer? Why?
2. What circumstances would need to happen for mortgage rates to STAY THE SAME, specifically this summer? Why?
3. What circumstances would need to happen for mortgage rates to DECLINE, specifically this summer? Why?
4. What circumstances would need to happen for mortgage rates to RISE, specifically this summer? Why?
5. What specific economic indicators are you watching most closely to gauge mortgage rate direction this summer, and how do you weigh their relative importance? (if not already covered above)
6. Can you share some compelling reasons why it may make sense for people to buy homes in today's elevated rate climate?
7. For buyers who've been waiting for rates to drop, what's your threshold recommendation for when waiting becomes counterproductive?
Finally, please provide:
1) your role/title, a link to your LinkedIn profile, company website, and company descriptor
2) a good email to follow up if needed (MUST be the source's email)
IMPORTANT: We can't accept/use AI-written responses, or responses you've already submitted elsewhere. Also, I'm not looking for surface-level information easily found online. These questions are meant more as a guide to get more nuanced, in-depth expertise from you :) Please share relevant common hypothetical scenarios or client experiences to back up answers.
Thanks!

To be considered, please answer the following questions (all or the ones you can answer):

2. What specific economic conditions, market catalysts, or circumstances need to happen for us to see gold hit the $4,000 milestone? Why?
3. What would be some warning signs or market indicators that gold is either accelerating toward $4,000 or stalling before hitting that milestone?
4. For investors who believe gold will hit $4,000 but want to avoid today's high prices, which investment vehicles or strategies/tips would you recommend and why?

3) SUMMARY: Insightful tips for borrowers of large personal loans
NAME: Amy Boyington
CONTACT EMAIL: hello@amyboyington.com

MEDIA OUTLET: Credible
MEDIA WEBSITE: https://credible.com
DEADLINE DATE: 2025-06-10
DEADLINE TIME: 05:00 pm Eastern Standard Time
QUERY: **This piece is only about large PERSONAL loans (think $90k-$100k) rather than business loans, mortgages, auto loans, etc.
I'm looking for insightful commentary that can provide context for the basics that borrowers may already know about getting a personal loan.
As an example only: rather than saying what borrowers already know, like "Interest raises your cost for a loan", explain how a personal loan could impact your credit score in the short and long term, depending on how it's used and repaid, based on real experiences you've seen with your clients.
Specifically, I'm looking for insight that really showcases your expertise in these areas (feel free to only respond to whatever fits your expertise best):
-When getting a personal loan from an online lender might be better for some borrowers than a credit union or bank (or vice versa)
-What borrowers should consider in terms of interest rates, fees, repayment terms, and total repayment costs before getting a loan of this size
-Besides basic loan terms, is there anything that sometimes gets hidden in the fine print of a loan agreement that borrowers should look for before signing?
-Anything else you feel might be relevant or helpful to borrowers looking for personal loans of this size.
