(“Ideal Group” or the “Company”) (OTC: IDGR) a growing residential mortgage broker,\r\ntoday responded positively to the Federal Reserve's decision to cut its\r\nbenchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to a range of 4.00% to 4.25%,\r\nmarking the first rate reduction since December 2024.\r\nThe rate cut\r\nis expected to directly benefit Ideal Group’s core mortgage origination\r\nbusiness through its wholly owned subsidiary Oxygen Mortgage LLC, as lower\r\nfederal funds rates typically translate to reduced mortgage rates for\r\nconsumers.
