    Credits:

  • Information

    Fed Funds Rate/Interest Rate

  • The US Federal funds rate is "the interest rate" at which depository institutions (banks and credit unions) actively trade balances held at the Federal Reserve (called federal funds) with each other, usually overnight, on an uncollateralized basis.

  • Interest rate

    2007 Inflation and Zero interest rate policy

    2007 Inflation and Zero interest rate policy
  • The 2007 global financial market turmoil led to a severe economic downturn.

    The US Federal Reserve responded to the recession by reducing the federal funds rate essentially to its lower bound of zero in Dec 2008, to stabilize the economy.

    In the ensuing seven years, the Federal reserve continued to maintain interest rates at near-zero levels, to increase employment rate and stabilize inflation.

  • Effects

    Implications of low interest levels

    Implications of low interest levels
  • The primary benefit of lowering interest rates is their stimulative effect on economic activity.

    Low interest rates increase public borrowing resulting in increased circulation of money.

    It also helps households and businesses finance new spending and help support the prices of many other assets, such as stocks and houses.

    Thus, low interest rates helps an economy's growth and improving employment.

  • Fed and India

    How does increase in Fed rate affect India?

    How does increase in Fed rate affect India?
  • An increase in Fed rate will raise the borrowing cost for carry trade (borrow from US and invest in India).

    Further, this may make US bonds and equities more attractive for investment for the investors looking for stable returns.

    This eventually is likely to result in funds flow out of both debt and equity markets of India, and put the rupee under pressure .

  • Quote

    India prepared for US rate hike

  • Economic Affairs Secretary Shaktikanta Das said that the government and RBI are prepared to deal with any eventuality arising out of the US Fed rate hike. The same sentiment was reflected by RBI governor Raghuram Rajan previously.

  • Information

    Dollar gains after Yellen's comments on rate hike

  • The US dollar hit its highest in over five weeks against a basket of major currencies, a day after Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said she expects rate hike in 2015, and after U.S. growth data appeared to support such a move.
