The Federal Reserve has begun what it says will be a series of interest rate increases in an effort to slow the economy and temper the current surge in the inflation rate. At the start of 2022, the federal funds rate stood at near zero percent. By May, the Fed moved the federal funds rate 75 basis points (0.75 percent) higher.

Four ways the Fed’s rate hikes in 2022 could impact your bottom line:

Thanks to North Haven Garden Club member Brenda Howlett, Town Hall looks more inviting than ever. Howlett filled two urn-style planters with red and white geraniums; magenta, purple, pink and multi-colored wave petunias for the spill; and a red dracaena – a tall plant – in the middle. Also, American flags were placed in each planter.

Automobile loans – While a variety of factors affect how interest rates are set on vehicle loans, you can expect these rates to increase.

Student loans – Federal student loan rates are set and will not be directly affected.

Modestly higher savings rates

However, borrowers working with private lenders will likely see rates move higher as they are tied to the Fed funds rate.

Investors have not earned much in terms of interest on bank savings accounts or money market accounts in recent memory. While it seems reasonable to expect

that yields may improve modestly, the change may not be dramatic. Even with historically low interest rates, investors have directed significant sums to these types of vehicles. In the current environment, some investors still have a desire for such “safe haven,” high liquidity investments regardless of the interest earned.

The bond market

COMMERCIAL CLEANING SERVICES

I am the owner/operator of Commercial Cleaning Services, a family owned office cleaning business that has served the Meriden, Wallingford, Cheshire, North Haven, and surrounding communities since 1984. We have provided cleaning services to medical and dental offices for over 30 years, and would be pleased to provide you with names/ references of those we have served and are still serving.

Fed interest rates strategies don’t impact the bond market directly, but Fed policy is watched closely by bond investors. This year, along with raising short-term rates, the Fed has also begun reducing the role it plays as a buyer in the broader bond market. That action could lessen demand for longer-term bonds, which can drive up interest rates. Even before the Fed initiated its new policies, the bond market already anticipated the change and interest rates began moving higher on most types of bonds

The stock market The stock market also tends to react to the Fed’s news, and with the central bank taking steps to slow the economy, investors anticipated the potential negative effects on publicly-traded companies. As a result of this and other factors, stocks lost value at the start of the year. It may be a good time to talk with your financial advisor about whether any of the changes mentioned above require you to update your financial plan.

FEDERAL AMERICAN RESCUE ACT

Officials review requests for funds

By Michael Gagne Record-Journal staff

MERIDEN — The city has so far received more than $36.58 million in requests to fund projects with COVID-19 relief funds made available through the American Rescue Plan Act. That total already surpasses the close to $36.36 million in funding the city is scheduled to receive through the federal program. The more than three dozen funding applications that have been submitted to date include several requests from city departments for infrastructure repair and upgrades.
