Pete the Planner on the impact of interest rate cuts
Update: 2024-07-22
Description
The Federal Reserve has indicated interest rate cuts are coming after policy makers spent the past two years using higher rates to try to tamp down inflation. IBJ personal finance columnist Peter Dunn, known to many readers as Pete the Planner, talks in this week's podcast about how reduced rates will stoke the economy as businesses and consumers start spending and investing.
Dunn explains why "people make really dumb decisions" when interest rates fall and consumer confidence rises. And he explains what might be a better option.
Dunn also references his "power percentage" calculation, which he has written about in the past. You can read a column about the power percentage here.
