The Federal Reserve cut interest rates for the first time this year, setting the new range at 4% to 4.25%. This impacts consumers by potentially lowering mortgage, credit card, and auto loan interest rates. Experts suggest this creates opportunities for prospective homeowners and those with existing high-interest mortgages to refinance. The central bank committee is scheduled to meet again in October and December to further assess the economic situation and adjust monetary policy accordingly.

Wednesday’s cut was the Federal Reserve Board of Governors first this year. It’s now set at 4% to 4.25%.
The interest rate cut affects consumers in many ways, including mortgage rates, credit card interest rates and auto loan interest rates.
