Opendoor Shares Jump as New CEO Takes Helm and Rate-Cut Bets Build

The rally came without company news, with traders fixated on a likely quarter‑point cut plus the Fed’s dot‑plot outlook.

Overview

  • Opendoor rose about 11.5% intraday with no fresh operational announcements driving the move.
  • Kaz Nejatian began his first day as chief executive as co‑founder Keith Rabois returned as chairman.
  • Investors are positioning for a widely expected 25 basis‑point reduction in the federal funds rate this week.
  • The Fed is set to release its quarterly dot‑plot projections alongside Chair Jerome Powell’s press‑conference commentary.
  • Given Opendoor’s heavy housing‑market sensitivity and meme‑style trading, observers expect further volatility tied to the Fed’s messaging.
