Since my Fed video: US inflation rose to 3.7% in September, up from 3.4% in August. Gasoline alone jumped 9.1% in one month.
The Fed meets again Oct 27–28. Raise, hold or cut? What's your guess? 👇

In my Fed video I kept saying "the Fed decided." Who, exactly?
The FOMC: 12 voters. That's 7 Fed governors, the New York Fed president, and 4 other regional Fed presidents who rotate yearly.
They meet 8 times a year. September's vote: 12–0.

Not in my Fed video:
The day after the hike, big US banks raised their prime rate from 6.75% to 7.00%.
Many credit cards have a variable rate tied to prime. When prime goes up, your card's rate can go up with no advance notice. Check your card terms.

For everyone watching outside the US: the Fed only sets US rates.
In the euro area it's the ECB. It also raised rates by 0.25 point in September, to 2.50%, and decides again on Oct 29.
Where you live, who sets your interest rates? 👇

Something I didn't explain in my Fed video:
"Raised rates 0.25%" means a quarter of one percentage point, also called 25 basis points (1 bp = 0.01 point).
So the target went from 3.50–3.75% to 3.75–4%. Not 0.25% of 3.5%.

The Fed raised rates. But what does that actually mean for your mortgage, car loan or credit card? I break it down fully in ASL, with captions in 10 languages. 🔍 youtu.be/hCeMlvfNzrQ#ASL#Deaf#Economy#FederalReserve
