Why do Interest Rates Rise & Fall? How to Spot the Opportunity

What are interest rates? They are the cost of borrowing money and are used to control inflation within a country. They play a crucial role in the economy by influencing borrowing, saving, and investment decisions.

In this episode, Jeremy Iannuzzelli highlights three factors that influence interest rates:

- Unemployment rate: High unemployment rates can indicate a shaky economy, affecting interest rate decisions.

- Consumer Price Index (CPI): This tracks the price of goods and services, influencing inflation and interest rates.

- Currency Value: The value of the currency impacts imports, exports, and inflation, thereby affecting interest rates.

Understanding interest rates and their impact on the economy is crucial for individuals and businesses to make informed financial decisions and plan investments effectively.

Individuals can capitalise on rising interest rates by fixating rates on loans and seeking high-interest savings accounts.

So listen to the full episode, as it's important to really understand interest rates, as you can use them to your advantage if you know how to spot the opportunity!
