Breaking Down the Impact of 'Higher for Longer' Interest Rates

Full Show Notes:

Expect Higher For Longer Interest Rates

The Fed recently revealed that interest rates will remain high for an unknown period going into 2024. So, if you’re waiting for interest rates on car loans, mortgages, student loans, credit cards, and other kinds of loans to fall significantly, you’re in for a rude shock. In September 2023, the Fed increased its estimate for how long it’ll try to mitigate inflation and stabilize the economy by keeping interest rates high. This means the Fed will keep the rate higher for longer than the June 2 forecasts. So, what does this mean for the average American? According to Roshan, people can expect higher interest rates on consumer loans. The good news is you can also expect higher returns on savings accounts. Savers will now get rates close to 6% on deposits – something that is unheard of in recent years. Data on jobs, consumer spending, and economic growth also showed that the economy is surprisingly strong as the Fed tries its best to cool inflation.
