Board published minutes for three discount rate meetings (2026-10-13)

The Board of Governors published minutes on 2026-10-13 for the discount rate meetings held August 17, September 9, and September 16, 2026. The supplied excerpt identifies those meetings and labels the document as the Board’s official record; no further meeting text is included in the excerpt provided. This release is a primary-source record of the meetings and what officials discussed about the discount window and related lending facilities on those dates.

GCM perspective — what borrowers can do now

GCM perspective: treat these minutes as background information rather than a direct mortgage-rate signal. For current pricing and lock decisions, consult your rate dashboard and live lender quotes. Gather updated lender pricing, verify any stated lock features with the lender, and weigh the cost of waiting versus locking against your personal timeline. Keep documentation ready; starting an application does not guarantee approval or the quoted terms.
