    What Today's Fed Rate Hike Means For Your Debt

    The Federal Reserve announced today that it will raise the federal funds rate by one quarter-point. So what does that mean for your money?

    The News / Hottest-us500index-m30-fx-choice-limited.png


    In short, it means your debt will get a little more expensive. “For borrowers, rising interest rates are like paddling into a progressively stiffer headwind,” says Greg McBride, the chief financial analyst for Bankrate.com.

    This will be the seventh hike since December 2015, and rates are already at their highest level since 2008. As part of its mandate, the Fed sets a target for the federal funds rate in order to maintain inflation at its 2% target and maximize employment. Inflation is currently at 2.8% and the unemployment rate is 3.8%. Boosting rates is an indicator of the Fed’s confidence in a strong economy, and it allows policymakers to continue rolling back the stimulus measures that were enacted after the 2008 financial crisis.

    Consumers will see the most immediate effects of the rate hike in the form of higher interest rates for variable rate loans like credit cards and home equity lines of credit (HELOC).

    “Anything that’s tied to the prime rate will change,” says Chris Geczy, an adjunct professor of finance at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School. The prime rate is the interest rate commercial banks charge their largest, most credit-worthy corporate clients. Banks raise or lower this rate by the same margin that the federal funds rate changes.

    Turkish Lira Plummets Again 'Casting Pall' Over European Stocks, Dampens U.S. Markets

    A weaker Turkish currency - down some 45% against the U.S. dollar this year - should be a great for tourists heading to “brand damaged” Turkey, but fears mount that an economic collapse in the country and panic would be far more damaging and more than offset any temporary boon from a weaker Lira.
