Fed Hikes Rates Again | Greensboro News
The Fed just raised rates by a quarter percent, pushing the benchmark to 3.75–4%, its first hike since July last year — all to battle stubborn inflation. By making loans more expensive, they’re aiming to cool prices, even if it means higher credit card and variable loan payments for you. Borrowing costs are now at levels last seen in 2007, with savers getting a tiny boost but most feeling the pinch soon. While markets already priced in much of this, expect those higher rates to hit your statements in the coming weeks. Not glamorous, but necessary to steer the economy back on track.
