Intrest Rates May Rise Mid Year

Posted on by

For the first time since the economy fell 7 years ago, the Federal Reserve is considering raising interest rates.  The move to raise interest rates could come as early as June.  Those looking to borrow money for a mortgage still have the opportunity to take advantage of the extremely low rates!

Some are surprised by the June date for rate increases.  Previously the Federal Reserve had indicated rates would increase much sooner than this spring.  The Federal Reserve will remain patient when deciding to raise the rates waiting for an improvement in the labor market.  With the drop in the market today, the Federal Reserve may decide not to increase rates after all.

For more information on the Federal Reserve interest rate news, you can view the entire article via the NY Times here.
