Happy 2024 to all InvestED listeners! While our hosts enjoy the holidays, we’re opening a year by going back to January of 2022 for a discussion about interest rates. With word of rate cuts on the horizon, how different are things now from when inflation was still climbing rapidly?

Understanding the Federal Reserve's interest rate maneuvers and their correlation with inflation is vitally important for assessing investment opportunities. The intricate dance between interest rates and the economy can impact borrowing, spending, and investment behaviors, so it’s crucial to keep up with the Fed’s moves in order to plan ahead.
