Global Interest Rates

Chart of the Week for August 2, 2019 - August 8, 2019

U.S. interest rate policy has been the topic of much discussion over recent months. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) of the U.S Federal Reserve Board (Fed) sets the target rate range for the fed funds rate as the benchmark for U.S. borrowing rates. Other countries around the globe have similar central banks that set their interest rate benchmarks as well. The chart above shows the current central bank rates for the U.S. and other developed major markets around the world.

The U.S. currently has the highest interest rate shown on the chart at 2.25%. The Fed increased rates from late-2015 through late-2018, but this week cut the target rate for the first time since 2008. Switzerland at -0.75% has the lowest current rate shown, and the European Central Bank's rate has been at or below zero percent since 2014. Some economists note that U.S. rates maybe still too high, and considering additional rate cuts maybe appropriate given global economic conditions.
