That’s because the Fed uses the Federal Funds Rate – the basis for all other borrowing costs such as mortgages, auto loans, credit cards and business loans – as a tool to manage inflation.
In this episode of The Discerning Distributor, Alex Chausovsky dug into this critical topic to help you better understand that relationship, and what you can expect in the face of a potential economic slowdown.
