Why Does The Fed Lower Or Raise Rates? n The Fed is trying to maintain a “healthy” economy. If the economy is “very slow” the Fed might decide to lower interest rates that will in turn make money available to businesses, home buyers and consumers. n If the economy is “heating up” and in the opinion of the Fed – growing too quickly, they will raise interest rates to “slow things down.” n The Fed watches trends in: housing, inflation, wages, employment, business investments, consumer spending, and foreign economic issues.
