[View in Browser]( [Bankrate]( FED WEEK September 2019 Today, the Fed decreased interest rates 0.25 percent The second rate cut this year. What is Fed Week? The Federal Reserve — also known as the Fed — maintains economic stability by determining how much it costs to borrow money. To prevent a recession, the Fed lowers interest rates to stimulate growth. It can also raise rates to keep the economy from overheating. Officials vote on these decisions typically eight times a year, during Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings. These actions impact yields on [CDs]( and [savings accounts](. They also influence the interest rate you pay on credit cards or auto loans, among other forms of credit. The breakdown The rate cut brought the Fed’s benchmark interest rate to a target range of 1.75 percent and 2 percent. It’s the second straight reduction, with the Fed also lowering borrowing costs at the conclusion of their July 31 meeting. Officials indicated in speeches leading up to the meeting that they would make the move. Policymakers are worried about trade wars, low inflation, weakness in manufacturing and a slowdown in global economic growth. They want to cushion the U.S. economy before any of these downside risks take hold. Though it’s smaller than the rate cuts enacted during the financial crisis, you can still expect to see an impact. Banks may choose to lower the yields on their [savings accounts]( or [CDs]( but borrowing costs will get cheaper — whether it’s on auto loans, or on variable-rate [home equity loans]( and [home equity lines of credit (HELOCs)](.
