Fed's Latest Rate Cut: What It Means for Your Loans
Update: 2025-12-12
Description
The Federal Reserves recent quarter-point interest rate cut, the third since September, aims to ease borrowing costs but its impact varies. Short-term loans like credit cards may see a slight drop, while long-term loans like mortgages are unlikely to change. The Fed has lowered rates by one and three-quarters percentage points since last year, with mortgage rates tied to the ten-year Treasury bond yield. Credit card rates, currently high, may see modest relief with predicted future cuts, but mortgage rates are expected to remain stable. The Feds challenge lies in balancing inflation control and employment maximization.
