Episode Details

The Fed just raised rates by a quarter-point — the first hike since last summer — making loans for homes and cars more expensive while boosting savings account returns. With inflation still stubbornly above 2%, the move aims to cool spending, and officials say it’s especially good for lower-income households hit hardest by rising costs. Credit card debt payments may climb, mortgage rates are already climbing regardless, and car loans face added pressure as prices stay high. Expect more rate hikes this year — and online banks are racing to offer better yields to attract savers.
