    Thinking about investing in gold bars and coins? Here's where prices could be headed this fall. (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Gold has been on quite the ride over the last year, hitting record highs at one point in early 2026, only to fall notably in the months following. While gold prices have somewhat recovered since then, they're still much lower than those record highs seen earlier this year. That may be a good thing for investors, allowing them to buy into the gold market at a lower rate and avoid paying too much for their gold assets — something particularly important in a highly volatile market like today's. But

    Money market vs. high-yield savings account: Which will be better if the Fed raises interest rates? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Interest rates on interest-bearing deposit accounts have been decent lately, though they're nowhere near the highs seen just a few years ago. In turn, there are lots of opportunities for savers to maximize the returns on their money. That could change, though, as the Federal Reserve may be eyeing an interest rate hike in the near future. In fact, according to the CME Group's FedWatch Tool, there's about a 30% chance the Fed increases rates at its September meeting, and a nearly 45% chance in Oct

    Will mortgage rates drop below 6% in 2026? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Mortgage rates haven't been particularly ideal this year. Though rates started out the year in the low 6% range (and even fell under it at one point), mortgage rates have since been 6.5% or higher for most of the summer. Just recently, though, they climbed to an average 6.75% on conventional 30-year mortgage loans. There are many reasons for the spike in rates, including re-accelerating inflation, geopolitical tensions and uncertainty surrounding the Fed's next rate moves. But mortgage rates are

    Is a HELOC or home equity loan better for borrowers now? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Between today's high inflation and soaring gas prices, more Americans may be finding themselves in need of extra cash to cover their essentials. Borrowing money isn't always affordable in today's landscape, though. After all, credit cards come with double-digit rates and increase the risk of compounding financial challenges even further. For those who own a home, home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) and home equity loans can be good alternatives. These equity-tapping options generally come with

    Why are gold prices falling? 4 factors that are impacting gold's value (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The price of gold has fallen notably over the course of 2026 — a stark turnaround from last year's record-setting run-up. In fact, gold prices are now sitting at less than $4,400 per ounce, more than $1,000 below their January peak. It's not great news if you already hold gold, but if you're considering investing in the precious metal in the near future, there's an opportunity to get in affordably. First, though, it's important to understand the reasons why gold prices have been declining as of
