As interest rates are expected to increase, many Americans will face higher borrowing costs, making it more expensive to buy a home or finance a car. This could have a significant impact on the economy, particularly for those who are already struggling with debt.
The evidence behind this rate hike is the strong economy and the need to prevent inflation. As The Economist notes, the case for tightening in America is clear.
The question remains, however, whether the rate hike will be enough to prevent a recession or if it will have unintended consequences.
